Neighbours have said they are 'not happy' about plans to tear down a church to build new apartments. Proposals have been put forward for a purpose-built apartment block, providing nine apartments, to replace the former New Jerusalem Church on Grove Street in Beeston.
The one-storey former church has been vacant for over three years. The new three-storey apartment block would comprise of single and two-bedroom apartments and would result in the demolition of the church building.
Locals have said that the plans could congest the "narrow" roads nearby and impact parking for current residents. June Cobley, 69, who lives in Beeston and is retired, said: “We’re not happy about it. We have solar panels on the our roof, and we’ve realised that the third floor of the apartments are going to shade those.
