Members of the county’s Hindu community have been granted planning permission for the conversion, after a 15-year search for somewhere to worship, celebrate, and teach the children in their community about their faith.

They’d previously been meeting at St Mary’s Church in Yarmouth. They were very grateful for the space the church provided, but the community had outgrown the space.

Sunita says the planning permission is just the beginning. They’ve been meeting in the former pub since the start of 2015.
