Ruth Kelly Says No To London Markaz “Supermosque”
According to the Telegraph, the mosque, with room for 70,000 worshipers, was thought to have unanimous support, but it comes out that it may not be going to happen at all.
A senior security source said that he was concerned about the proposed mosque, and expected ministers to use their powers to call in, and turn down, the planning application.
The move was confirmed by a senior Government source, who said there were fears that the giant mosque could damage community relations in the area, and added: “We are going to stop it.”
Until now, it was thought that the support of Newham Council (which agreed in principle in 2001), The London Thames Gateway Unitary Development Corporation, and the London Development Agency would be enough to guarantee that planners would rubber-stamp the proposed mosque.
