The councillors did not like the idea of 200 people praying in a converted warehouse — and the church is now seeking alternative venues
A church has been denied permission to convert a North Hykeham warehouse into its permanent home.
However, North Kesteven District Council’s policies designated the building as a place of employment, rather than a community asset. “North Hykeham residents told us their three biggest needs were loneliness, mental health, youth provision – this would tick all of those boxes.” However, Councillor Ian Carrington , who seconded the motion to refuse plans, said: “I have total respect for the good works that the church does. However, they don’t allow us to set our planning policies to one side without very good reason.”
