Overview

• Al-Haqq Academy has submitted a revised application to convert The Peacock pub in Gravesend into a mosque and community space after a previous rejection.
• The updated proposal includes specific prayer and madrasa schedules and evidence of the pub's prior lack of economic viability.
• The application has drawn mixed reactions, with 10 letters of support and 14 objections citing concerns over traffic, noise, and the loss of a historic pub.
• Planning documents emphasize the local Muslim community's need for additional worship space, as the area's two existing mosques are overcrowded.
• Gravesham Borough Council is reviewing the revised plans, with a decision expected by June 23, 2025.
