Recently planning ermission to alter use of St Mary's in the Wood was advertised. Just n case you missed this, here's the low down. The developer who now owns the site is currently seeking planning ermission for: alterations and addition of new mezzanine floors to acant church, to form restaurant and 9 hotels suites and erect 3 torey detached block of 30 hotel rooms, with removal/relocation of ravestones, new car parking and landscaping. There are no plans to re-site the stones, or to study the archaeology f the site. You can view this here, and make objections online at ttp://planningapplications.leeds.gov.uk/publicaccess/tdc/DcApplication/application_detailview.aspx?caseno=KX7XY6JB0FZ00 Please click through and add comments or object, it's your right to ave a say on this matter. Detailed planning drawings are now vailable on this site too showing plans to remove gravestones and rees for car parking. When we talk about Morley being mentioned in he Domesday book it's this site in particular that was listed. This s our history, the people who made the town what it is.
