Plan to turn Craven Arms bungalow into church for group
A four-bedroom bungalow could be transformed into a new church to give a religious group in Craven Arms a permanent base.
The Shropshire Hills Mennonite Church has applied for change of use of the property, in Clun Road, into a place of worship.
The group has met since 2012 and is part of the UK Mennonite Ministries, a denomination of Christianity which values justice and peace-making, and is part of the Anabaptist movement.
UK Mennonite Ministries, a registered charity, has a small office in Craven Arms and operates Shepherds Hill Furniture Ltd from the same premises.
A supporting statement submitted alongside the planning application said: "The congregation currently meet in Aston on Clun at the Village Hall on a Sunday and in Edgton, near Craven Arms, on weekday evenings.
