Council Blocks Student Housing in Leicester Church

Leicester’s city council killed a student housing plan for an old Pentecostal church on Evington Street, calling the proposed rooms “unsatisfactory” due to poor natural light, lack of windows, and street-facing ground floor bedrooms — despite some neighbors supporting the idea over the building sitting empty. Meanwhile, the church itself is moving to a much larger venue approved for next year, doubling its capacity to accommodate 350 worshippers.
