Blackburn mosque dome is set to remain (From Lancashire Telegraph)

I hate these domes ... they are a complete blot on the landscape, tacky, blingy and totally out of character with the surroundings (rant over).

What does the article say......
A petition with more than 1,000 signatures has been submitted to Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council calling for permission to be rejected.
The petition claims the dome was built “illegally” and objects to the number of mosques already in the town.
However, the application, by the Masjid-E-Saliheen mosque committee, is set to be approved when the planning committee, chaired by Labour’s Jim Smith, meets on Thursday evening.
In their assessment, planning bosses said the dome was a “prominent addition” to the building but did not detract from the local skyline.

I like that, "did or should it not be - does not detract from the local skyline" where are they looking, the thing is next to a childrens play area. The "dome" stands out like a sore thumb. It's great to be British
