Following a search for suitable sites that began in 2007, the local congregation of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church purchased Chapel Farm in 2024. We have put forward plans for a new purpose-built Gospel Hall on this site.\u00a0<\/p>

The Gospel Hall would replace the one currently used on the outskirts of Houghton Regis, which is no longer large enough to accommodate the Church\u2019s community.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The site at Chapel Farm not only has the space to meet our needs, but also offers a unique opportunity to reserve land for the use of the local community, including setting aside land for a biodiverse woodland as voted for by the Chalton community. The proposals will enhance access into the village and create a safer, improved access point for visitors to the site. <\/span><\/p>

Children at Chalton School will benefit from a larger, sunnier playground, supported by land gifted directly to the school. <\/span><\/p>

A carefully designed buffer zone will help protect the village boundary from further development and commercialisation, while maintaining a low-usage approach that preserves the area’s character. <\/span>In addition, derelict buildings will be removed to enhance the overall appearance, and the site will form an attractive gateway into Chalton, with the heritage farmhouse retained as a key feature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
