IMPORTANT PLEASE READ This website and forum has been living on borrowed web server time for years. At the end of this month silsden.net in it's present form will cease to exist, BUT there is a new silsden.net in the making, and a new forum, and lots of exciting new things coming to this space.

Topic : Methodist Church Demolition |
|
| wahiba |
There is a planning notice requesting demolition of the Methodist Church. Anyone know what the story is? Just curious. |
|
| chaz |
apparently the plan is to knck it down move it futher forward and build even more houses behind it |
|
| pumbajunior |
its seems ridiculas to knock a building down to move it further forward to build maybe 5 houses i cant see there being space for more |
|
| Fred |
The outline plans have been in the entrance hall of the church for some time. Any event such as Sunday Service, A blood donor session, coffee morning etc will allow you through the door! The plans look good, move the church forward and build houses behind. I think the houses are going to be "affordable housing" and with the location should be really good, easy walking to all the shops. The plans for the redesigned church seem to be well thought out and it looks like it will be a very nice building.  |

PS the existing Methodist Church building is subsiding so something has to be done. |
|
| pumbajunior |
ahh thats fair enough then i was just thinking its stupid to knock down a perfectly good building just to build a few houses |
|
| chaz |
wonder why it`s subsiding ,what about other buildigs close by are they subsiding aswell? |
|
| Fred |
If you have a look along by the beck you will see some large cracks and the wall isn't exactly straight/upright. I think it's probably a combination of the beck and the trees along the side of the beck causing the problem - but I'm no expert on such matters and could be completely wrong  |
|
| wahiba |
Not being a regular visitor to god spots I have not seen the plans. Seems reasonable to me. |
|
| chaz |
wonder what will happen to those two lovely trees in front of the church i wonder if they have a preservation order on them although i can`t see that making a differance they will get chopped down anyway |

how long is that the old church on this site was pulled down did no one notice the rest of the building was getting older and in need of repair |
|

I only hope that whoever comes to live in the new houses behind the church realises there is a park with a rocks and ramps area close by, if they don’t take this into consideration before they move in, we will hear nothing but complaints about noise kids spoiling their peace and quite. How about a tenants agreement to leave the kids alone? |
|

I trust that when these new houses are built they will not be subject to subsidence... |
|

Perhaps "grandad" that West Yorks Police will take up the latest idea and recruit 16 year old PCSO's to police the rocks and ramps. That way we could catch the kids early with a Police Academy in Aireview Nursery |

people are always moaning about the kids in silsden hanging round the streets ,i wonder what will happen when silsden Methodist church gets plans passed for eight houses next to the rocks and ramps park how many complaints will the police get about kids making a noise i always thought the church was a charitable affair not a development company seems to me they are using subsidence as an excuse to gain from development |
|
| robin |
Reminds me of story in one of the dailys yesterday about a couple who moved next to a Chirch and then complained about the Bells. |
|
| alan |
Perhaps the church will be proactive "chaz" and build a youth club in to the development! Now there's a thought |
|
| Peter |
If you want to find out what the plans are for the Methodist Church go to the planning meeting on Thursday silsden.net/town_council/docs_07/planning_agenda/Gp&PlanningMins_07.09.20.pdf |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) I have to say that the new Church is a very welcome improvement to Silsden. The back of the site has not been finished, but the new Church and frontage is excellent, and I look forward to seeing the whole job done. Well done to all those involved! |
