Guidance for the provision of sites and buildings for places of worship

 

Oadby, Wigston and South Wigston are already home to many and varied places of worship, with a long tradition of welcoming and accommodating different religions.

 

The borough can be proud that residents of different faiths choose to live within it. In planning terms, provision needs to be made to embrace the diversity of the culture of the residents, recognising the contribution that this can make to the well being of the residents by promoting their quality of life. Places of worship need to be accessible to all potential groups and be distributed throughout the borough.
