The local planning department has officially rejected the application for 79 Albert Street. We will continue to monitor the site to ensure the property remains designated for community use as originally intended.

Final supporters
Petition Summary and Background : To oppose the planning application for the change of use of The White Horse public house, 79 Albert Street, Stevenage, Herts, for its intended purpose of a Bangladeshi Cultural Centre (Mosque) and not the Community centre as the application states. The Mosque will serve an extremely small minority of the old town, but the true intended use is to serve the entire Bangladeshi Muslim community of Stevenage as the single dedicated Bangladeshi Mosque in the area.
Action Petitioned For: We, the undersigned, are concerned residents that strongly object to the change of use due to parking restrictions, increased traffic and road safety issues. The barracks style securty measures will have a negative impact on the environment and are not in keeping with the area. Further more, the intended use does not directly benefit the wider local community, only a very small minority of only 42 old town addresses, thus is intended to attract people from the wider outreaches of Stevenage and beyond.
Further information : View the application at the URL address below, the information hidden in the associated documents it will explain in greater detail. You have the right of reply, so state your objections here in addition to signing the petition. The more support and the greater the public objection is felt, the more forceful the case to refuse the change of use and allow common sense to prevail!

The scale of this response confirms the level of public concern regarding the impact on Albert Street. I am now compiling these objections to formally present them to the Stevenage Borough Council planning department.

Keep the pub as it is. Its part of the history of the old town and we should be saving it not turning it into something else.
Parking is already a nightmare on Albert street. We dont need more traffic in this area.
The old town doesnt have the infrastructure for this. Its just not the right place for a center like that.
The roads are way too narrow for more traffic. Somebody is going to get hurt.
leave the white horse alone. enough is enough with changing everything in stevenage.
