Plans to extend a mosque in New John Street will come before planners next week.

The application is recommended for approval despite residents objecting to the plan on the grounds the area is a traffic blackspot and the extension would worsen the problem. It will be considered at the development control committee on Monday December 18 at the council chamber, the Council House, Dudley, as 6pm.

Other applications include: Plans for 181 homes on the former Henley's Foundries Site, Banners Lane, which have attracted a petition of 242 signatures objecting on traffic issues.
