Land Sale a ‘Windfall’ for West Vancouver Church: Neighbours

North Shore Outlook – Land sale a ‘windfall’ for West Vancouver church: neighbours.

A church in the British Properties wants to sell its land to a developer. What could be built in place of a church in the British Properties has caused quite a stir.

If the church’s land is sold, duplexes and single-family homes could go in the large lot. That’s 19 homes, consisting of 11 detached dwellings and eight duplexes, to be exact.
