A church hall is set to be demolished to make way for a new block of flats and houses.
The ASRA Housing Group has submitted plans to Harrow Borough Council for the land on the site of St Michael and All Angels Church, in Bishop Ken Road, Harrow Weald.
The plans propose the demolition of part of the church and The Wykeham Hall, and the construction of six houses and a three-storey block of eight flats.
According to the design and access statement from the housing group, the hall is in a state of disrepair.
It said: “There are no funds available for the church to repair and refurbish the hall, but the proposals of this application release land value so that the church can be refurbished and extended to provide new community facilities, better and more appropriate to current community needs.”
The interior of the church would also be redesigned to provide a multi-use hall and an area for worship and the wider community.
The housing association said: “Asra are delighted to be working in partnership with St Michael’s and All Angels Church and Harrow Council to deliver a high quality mixed use scheme.
“This project will be providing new homes including affordable, along with much needed new and improved facilities for the church and parish.”
