Samra Kauser lodged an application on October 24 to change the use of the United Pentecostal Church, in 2 Canal Street, Bainsford to form five flats.

Planning officers acting under delegated powers granted permission for the proposal to convert the vacant three storey structure on Thursday, December 21.

A proposal lodged by Mohammed Sabir in January to create six flats at the same church had been awaiting a decision for six months before the applicant withdrew the proposal in July.
