WHITTLESEA: Hindu temple refused
There was loud public gallery applause when Whittlesea Councillors voted unanimously to refuse a planning permit for a Hindu temple at 330 Grants Rd, Woodstock.
Councillors agreed that there were eight grounds on which the proposal was not consistent with the Whittlesea Planning Scheme,.
The refusal to grant a planning permit was partly based on a desire to protect agricultural land in the Green Wedge.
