Santon Church is looking for planning permission to extend its hall to provide ‘improved’ nursery provision and a ‘flexible’ church and community meeting room.
The plans would see a shed currently situated on its land knocked down to make room for the extension and three trees would be removed.
The church says there is a ‘clear’ community and social need for the bigger space and would become an asset to the local area.
It adds that the scheme would provide the church and wider community with a ‘much-needed’ meeting room, including internet access in the evenings and at weekends.
Under the new plans there would also be a new accessible disabled toilet and a ramp entrance to a new porch.
The application is currently pending consideration and can be found here.
