PLANS to build a small mosque in Chipping Norton have been approved by councillors.

West Oxfordshire District Council’s uplands area planning subcommittee approved the change of use application for a former shop in Hitchmans Mews, off West Street, today.

Residents and Chipping Norton Town Council had raised concerns about additional noise and parking and the loss of retail space.

The 2011 Census recorded there were 34 Muslims in Chipping Norton, of a population of 6,337.

David, Samantha, Charlie, Rebekah, Jeremy, Charles, Tony, Steve, Rachel, Alex, Howard and Sir Anthony will, no doubt, be delighted.

Allahu Akbar ..... :worship:

Needs to be a Small one

West Oxfordshire District Council’s uplands area planning subcommittee approved the change of use application for a former chiropodists in Hitchmans Mews, off West Street, this afternoon.

The town council voted to oppose the application put forward by Tahirul Hassan, himself a town councillor, at their meeting on January 21.

The father-of-three intends to rent the ground floor room for prayers five times a day, seven days a week and wants the mosque to be open from sunrise to sunset.

Town council overruled - controversial ..... :eek:

Yes as some may Object.

It's only about 10 miles from my parents house. They are bomb-proofing their house, and building a safe room as I type.

Ideas are being sought for a new mosque venue in an Oxfordshire town after plans to use a vacant shop were scrapped following an alleged threat.

A unit in Hitchmans Mews, Chipping Norton was approved by West Oxfordshire District Council for use as a mosque on 4 February.

Its landlord Georg Wissinger said he had since received a threat that it would be "burnt down".

Town councillor Tahirul Hasan said a new venue was now being sought.

Mr Wissinger said: "I received a call saying if I went ahead with it, it would get very hot - I thought that meant it would be burnt down so I am no longer offering the shop."

Mr Hasan said he was "shocked" by news of the threat and added the Muslim community was "very disappointed".

Objections were received over transport and fire safety over the shop venue plan and Chipping Norton Town Council had opposed the proposal.

Mr Wissinger has not reported the threat to the police.

AFAIK, the Set entirely dissociate themselves from religious intolerance and threats of violence ..... :pipe:
