Burnley mosque in minaret bid to ''boost building's Islamic identity''

A Burnley mosque wants to add a minaret to boost the buildings Islamic identity.

Hawzah News Agency- Daneshouse Islamic Education Centre has applied for planning permission for the enhancement to the Daneshouse Masjid.

This will enable the mosque and education uses to be separated, thereby enhancing safeguarding arrangements and accessibility.

The minaret will be introduced to the front elevation to enhance the identity of the mosque.

The introduction of the minaret is a recognised architectural feature of Islamic places of worship.

Its inclusion strengthens the cultural and religious identity of the building, giving clear expression to its communal function while remaining respectful to the surrounding streetscape.
