Planning permission for the change of use from an industrial site to a place of worship and community centre was granted in October 2010. The premises had an interim development - providing the Jain temple, auditorium, seminar rooms, educational wing, administrative infrastructure and community facilities. In January 2013, further planning permission was obtained to demolish the present building and to construct a 3 floor Jain Centre with temple, community centre and 3 flats.
