Planning chiefs set out concerns over Leeds prayer hall scheme
A decision on the fate of the site in Barkly Road has had months of delays, leading to the applicants asking a planning inspector to intervene.
The council has received 2,610 ‘batch’ objection letters, including from the ‘Save Our Beeston’ community group, a Facebook forum which now has 3,000-plus members.
There have also been 650 letters of support.
