HOUSES are set to be built on the site of a former gospel hall in Devon.

Teignbridge District Council planning officers have recommended that the hall in Teignmouth should be pulled down to make way for the new homes.

There is a waiting list of over 1,500 people for housing in the Teignbridge District Council area.

The authority's development control committee will meet to decide the application on January 12.
