Chingford Mosque Extension "Denied"

I have it on good Authority that tonight the planning committee at Waltham Forest by unanimous decision decided to uphold an earlier decision by planning to refuse the extension of the Islamic Book Shop based at 90-92 Chingford Mount Road which now appears to be called a Mosque.

The grounds for refusal were numerous, the main issue was parking and the fact the local residents (after finding out about such plans) got together a 700 name petition against the plans. Even though the Mosque sought the services of a Muslim Councillor Afzal Akram from the other end of the borough and also paid for the services of Michael Sierrens an Architect from Orford Road Walthamstow to assist with their case, they were unsuccessful in their arguments. Even a Councillor on the planning actually criticized the fact the local population had not been consulted properly, the whole thing stunk as times were based around holidays, but common sense prevailed in the end.
