Muslim prayer hall site visit in decision on Sandwell plans

The site of a proposed Muslim prayer hall and community centre is to be inspected by councillors in the wake of revised plans.

Proposals to convert former Victorian Methodist church buildings in Old Hill were previously thrown out over car parking concerns.

But the proposals from members of the Old Hill Masjid and Community Centre Association have since been revised and resubmitted.

Following a visit on February 11 members of Sandwell Council's planning committee will decide whether to give the scheme the go-ahead.

Under the plans a former Sunday school and church building next to the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, off Halesowen Road, would be revamped.
