A “much loved” former village bowling green will be bulldozed after council planners gave the go-ahead for a new religious building on the site.
The green at Ford, opposite the former Smoke Stop restaurant on the A458, will make way for a meeting hall and car park for the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.The church says the building will be used for two services per week on a Sunday and Monday for up to 35 people, with “occasional meetings” at other times.
Planning permission for two houses on the site was granted in 2022, although work was never started. It was due to expire in April next year. Planning consultant Nigel Thorns, on behalf of the applicant, said issues relating to the loss of the bowling green had been assessed when the previous application was approved, and were no longer relevant.
