A public inquiry has started into plans for a mosque next to Sandhurst, the military academy, with a scheme that involves proposals to demolish a Victorian school building in a Conservation Area and replace it with a £3m domed mosque refused permission by Surrey Heath Borough Council.
One report states:
‘The locals’ anger grew in January when the council’s planning committee approved the mosque, despite a highly critical report from their own environment officers.
The report said the building was ‘dominant and incongruous’, involved the demolition of a locally significant listed Victorian school, and was out of keeping with the parkland setting of the conservation area.’
