Plans to convert a Methodist chapel near Peterborough into three new homes have been withdrawn.

CAMPA Portfolio Ltd submitted a planning application to Peterborough City Council on September 15 to change the use of Ailsworth Methodist Church on Main Street.

According to planning documents, the proposal would have involved the conversion of the chapel into three 'high-spec' residential units aimed at young professionals or retirees looking for low maintenance properties.
