MEETING place for Muslim worshippers could be opened on a city trading estate.
The Ismaili Council for the United Kingdom, has applied to Gloucester City Council for permission to change a unit on the Moreland Trading Estate.
They hope to use the space for worship and meetings, but insist they are not establishing a mosque.
A spokesman said: “This will not be a mosque, but a space for the private congregational ceremonies of the Ismaili Muslim community.
“The premises will be mainly used in the evenings from Thursday to Sunday. The ceremonies typically begin at 7pm.
“The congregation begins to arrive at 6.30pm with the majority of arrivals between 6.50pm and 7pm. The ceremonies complete at about 8pm and the congregation leaves on a staggered scale with the last people usually leaving at approximately 8.30pm.”
