Salford Islamic Community Centre say that their "place of worship" at First Floor of 178-186 Langworthy Road, Salford, M6 5PP was "Founded in 2017".
If this use continues for another year without Council enforcement, the 10-year rule could make it permanent.
The Council have said that “It is unclear whether the existing use of the first floor as a mosque / community centre is a lawful use in planning terms… The applicant is advised to regularise the existing use of the first floor through the submission of a planning application.”
The Council still granted planning permission in 2025 for a fire escape at the building, and they need reminding of their duty to control planning breaches.
This site is not the right for this use. It has no dedicated car parking spaces, close to 2 primary schools.
I am asking you for donations toward the out-of-pocket expenses of phase 1 of the campaign i.e. £2,000 to persuade the Council to investigate and take enforcement action.
As usual, none of the money goes to me but on the costs of fighting this case.
