Summary of planning committee decision
Decided by Mansfield Planning Applications Committee on 24 Nov 2025.
What was proposed
The application proposed internal alterations creating first-floor prayer rooms and classrooms, with rooflights, a side door, stairway and window changes.
“The application is seeking full permission for internal alterations to create a new first floor space including new roof lights on both side elevations, a new door to the southwest side elevation and alterations to the existing windows to the side elevations.”
