The planned place of worship would also be “progressive” and open for women to pray
A proposed new mosque on the outskirts of Preston would welcome non-Muslim groups using the building as a community space, a public inquiry has been told.
However, the advocate representing Broughton Parish Council – which has objected to the mosque in its proposed location – said that there was no evidence that any local organisations outside the Muslim community were clamouring for such facilities. “The applicant is very sensitive to descriptions that are being used and [so] can I ask everyone just to be very careful in their language of [avoiding] a kind of ‘them and us’ approach,” Mr. Zwart appealed.
The inquiry also heard that the Brick Veil Mosque would be one of those to offer a space in which women could pray. Asked by Peter Black whether 248 would be “the maximum” number of people in the mosque at any one time, Mr. Cassidy said that there may be “a handful” of those women and children who attended prayers – but he stressed that they would be unlikely to travel independently to the site in any case.
