The Project Steering Group, including businessmen and professionals from a variety of sectors within the community, has commissioned the design of an iconic new mosque to be built on the site of our existing premises.

Developed by a talented team consisting of architects and other professionals working in partnership with the Steering Group, the new mosque has been designed to meet all the needs of our community, as a place of prayer, education, friendship, physical fitness and relaxation.

The new mosque will provide modern, purpose-designed facilities across four floors, including:

• Welcome lobby, with café facilities
• State-of-the-art fitness facilities for both men & women
• Multi-purpose hall available for events and private functions
• Wadu area
• Main Prayer Hall
• Women's Prayer Hall
• Well-equipped classrooms
• Fully stocked library
• Proposed New Flats

The proposed development is designed to generate revenue to run day to day operations and will be created from sustainable resources wherever possible, even generating 10% of its own power supply. Outside will be attractively landscaped gardens with on-site parking for up to 56 cars.

Full planning permission has already been granted for this development, and it is our intention that work should begin on site in spring 2011. We anticipate that the mosque will be completed between 18 and 24 months.
