It seems that the promoters of a huge, and unwanted by many locals, mosque in South Woodford in Essex has finally been slapped down. Attempts to impose this monstrosity on the area developed over 300 objections along with the spoutings of various taqiyya merchants from the Al-Qurani Murkaz Trust and foolish non-Muslim fellow travellers.
But this matter has finally be looked at by the Planning Inspector and permission to build this Islamic carbuncle has been refused.
Douglas Patient a reporter for the local newspaper for the area, the Wanstead and Woodford Guardian has said:
“A controversial long-running bid to rebuild a mosque has failed, with the planning inspectorate rejecting a planning appeal after concluding the design was “over-dominant and intrusive”.
The plan to demolish the existing South Woodford Community Centre Mosque, in Mulberry Way, and erect a three-storey building was originally rejected by Redbridge council’s planning committee, which received 300 objections.
It concluded the proposal by Qu’rani Murkaz Trust (QMT) for a ground floor prayer room, a community hall on the first floor and four residential flats on the second floor was too large for the area.
A revised proposal, which scaled down the design slightly, was rejected by committee again on the same grounds, but an appeal was launched.
While dismissing the claim that the privacy of neighbours would be affected by the new mosque, the planning inspector, listed as Mr Marshall, said the design was “overdominant and intrusive”.
The report said: “The existing building is of no great design merit.
“The proposed building would be of a better design and materials and would have attractive detailing.
“It would though be a much more substantial and bulky building notwithstanding being sunken slightly into the ground.
“From certain viewpoints looking from the south its bulk and height, combined with its plot coverage, would make it appear over-dominant and intrusive seen in conjunction with the much smaller scale neighbouring residential development.
“There would thus be harm to the character and appearance of the area.”
The trust has been contacted for comment”
I’d urge Mr Patient to pay heed to the Trust when they do eventually comment because I can assure him that the comment will be a classic example of taqiyya or lying to promote Islam. It may educate him on just how dishonest Islamic groups can be when planning or constructing mosques.
This blog has covered this particular story for a while and in several articles and a representative of the blog attended a planning meeting of Redbridge Council at an earlier stage of the process. It has been noticed that the mosque-e-teers have been bullshitting like mad trying to get this project built including using one of the most popular Islamic lies which is: ‘there will be no traffic problems associated with this mosque’
I can imagine that the people of South Woodford are mightily pleased to have the issue of the Muslim eyesore finally laid to rest but I doubt that this will be the last attempt that the Al-Qurani Murkaz Trust will make on imposing another unwanted jihad and sedition centre aka a mosque, on the area.
One of the good things to take away from this case is from the comments to this article which seem universally hostile. The mosque-e-teers may not have built their building but it seems that they have done a bloody good job of stirring up dislike for Islam and those who practise it.
This is a definite ‘win’ for the people of South Woodford but they will need to be on their guard against other attempts to impose a mosque where it isn’t wanted.

This was the right decision, previous projects in other locations have proved to be a disaster for residents nearby, parking problems, traffic, noise and so on. Highly inappropriate in a residential area. This building having been acquired some time ago had planning applications submitted for a chicken takeaway shop, mini-cab office then mosque and now wants to expand out further affecting adversely the immediate neighbours. I am so glad the Planning Inspector saw sense.

It would be a good plan to keep tabs on these devious bastards.
They never give up, and never take “no” for an answer.
Our laws, it seems, do not apply to them, and they have nothing but contempt and ridicule for our traditions, culture and way of life.
Don’t think this is the end. This one will run and run,
probably with more than a little help from some politically
motivated useful idiots.
They will try again and again… and with the proposed development opposite including a tower block there may be less reason not to pass it… sign a petition opposing this horrid development near SW station – https://www.change.org/p/london-borough-of-redbridge-stop-overdevelopment-in-south-woodford
Good job in giving the Towel Heads a bloody nose. But we should remember that these towel heads will not just go away. The citizens & authorities must remain vigilant and keep an eye on these groups such as the Qu’rani Murkaz Trust (QMT) or the Tablighi Jamaat (TJ) filthy towel heads as they are very sneaky, devious, deceptive, and charlatan like.
