A planning application has been submitted to extend and convert the ground floor of 28 Willesden Lane, NW6 7ST for use by Kilburn & Hampstead Masjid. This is a lovely old Victorian three-storey commercial and residential terraced building.
The current mosque typically opens at 6am-8pm (10pm during summer) and currently accommodates 30-40 attendees. These numbers might increase significantly at this proposed, extended property.
This site is in an established residential neighbourhood, with no dedicated on-site parking. Local residents have objected to a planning application for a mosque nearby which also has no on-site parking, citing issues around congested streets and “roads coming to a virtual standstill on Friday’s.”
I am asking you for donations toward out of pocket expenses of £2,000 to resist this application.
As usual, none of the money goes to me, but to the costs of fighting this application.
