Land Enquiry Response
01/12/2021 22:33
Thank you for your prayers regarding our land enquiry. Here is what I just shared with our church family. Your continued prayers are much appreciated as we wait on the Lord for His perfect will.
Good evening church family,
We have now heard back from the planning department regarding our land enquiry.
In short, the answer is that there is no planning permission that would allow us to build on that property.
Graeme did give us some advice which we can pray about. He said as follows....
"I appreciate that you have had difficulties in finding a suitable site on which to build a church, I would recommend that you focus your attentions on the following types of site:
· Existing vacant church or community buildings.
· Sites within existing town centres.
· Detached houses with large gardens situated within existing settlement boundaries. Some houses may have potential for conversion, alternatively you could consider demolishing the house and erecting a replacement building.
· Sites within allocated housing sites that have been identified for community or commercial uses. "

· Detached houses with large gardens situated within existing settlement boundaries. Some houses may have potential for conversion, alternatively you could consider demolishing the house and erecting a replacement building.
· Sites within allocated housing sites that have been identified for community or commercial uses. "
I remind us that God is faithful and that God has a plan. Our job currently is to, "Ask, Seek, Knock...." or as Jeremiah 33:3 puts it, "Call unto me and I will answer thee and shew thee great and mighty things which thou know not."
God has an answer coming in His timing. Let's continue to trust Him and His way.
God gave us a great meeting tonight. Lord willing, we will see you on Sunday,
Pastor
