THE AREA:
The surrounding area is predominantly residential in character and the site lies outside the Conversation Area.

PROPERTY INFO:
The property is a purpose built place of worship which was constructed in the late 1980s. The building comprises a main hall space, lobby meeting area, small office, toilet facilities for both male and female and a small storage cupboard. The main hall space is constructed ‘in the round’ and benefits from staged seating with a capability of seating in the region of 500 people at full capacity with significant scope for further expansion.
Externally, the property benefits from a large number of parking spaces which could be converted into a children’s play area if necessary. A recent pre-app response received from Bedford Council Planning dept (copy available on request), confirms that the principle of residential development on the site would be acceptable.

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
