A FORMER workshop at 2 to 4 Smith Street, Nelson, could soon be turned into a mosque and centre for instruction.

Members of the Nelson Committee consider the application at their meeting on Monday, March 3..

The main issue to be considered will be the amount of traffic generated from the proposed new use as current parking standards require new places of worship to provide one space for every 10 worshippers, with a minimum of 10 in an urban location.

Planning officers have recommended approval.
