A former hotel in Blackburn can be turned back into two large homes after the owner said he could live with occasional stamping and chanting from the next door Shia Islamic Centre. Suhel Miah has been granted planning permission to convert the Chimneys Guest House in Preston New Road, Wensley Fold, into two four-bedroomed houses.A report by planning officer Tom Wiggans said: “The application property was last used as a hotel but was originally two dwellings.
“This application seeks to convert a former hotel in to two separate dwellings. During assessment, the applicant confirmed in writing they will be living in the property directly adjoining the Shia centre next door, and that they are fully aware of the noise from the Shia centre, and that the noise is manageable.
“The centre is quiet most of the time, yet rather loud for one weekday evening for an hour or so. In other words, noise from the centre is sporadic but can be loud when it occurs. “The proposed change of use would not involve any engineering operations or external alterations, and would have a neutral impact on the property and the wider street scene. It is therefore considered acceptable in visual design terms. As originally submitted, a new access would have been created onto Preston New Road.
