Elite Investments Limited has applied to change the use of Holy Trinity Church Hall in Holyhead Road, Oakengates. The planning application lodged with Telford & Wrekin Council also seeks retrospective consent for a 2.1m-tall boundary fence, a 2.06m-high wall with railings, and 2.6m-high gates. Holy Trinity Church in Oakengates has a church hall which is set to become a new 'community hall'. Picture: GooglePlanning agent Simon Smith, of en-plan in Bomere Heath, has told planners that the new boundary and new internal disabled toilet facilities will allow for a new community hall use. “Planning consent will allow for important improvement measures to take place that will create a new community hall that can operate safely and securely.”A period of public consultation has started on Telford & Wrekin Council’s planning portal (reference TWC/2025/0648).
