TOWN & COUNTRY PLANNING The present use of the former church is within D1 of the Use Classes Order as a place of worship. This would also permit other community uses including clinics, surgeries, crèches, day nurseries and consulting rooms.
Alternatively the property could either be converted to form an individual dwelling or potentially the site could be re-developed for housing purposes. Such uses would of course require formal planning permission to be granted and interested parties should address specific enquiries to the Planning Authority.
