Plans for a temple and community hall made out of shipping containers in Tattenhoe have been recommended for approval at a meeting next week.
Some 470 comments were sent to Milton Keynes Council about the plan for grassland east of St Agnes Way, with 319 writing in support, and 142 against.
There has also been a petition against the scheme signed by more than 700 people, and opposition from Shenley Brook End and Tattenhoe Parish Council.
Objectors claim that the Hindu temple would make traffic problems in the residential area worse, especially when it attracts up to 300 people to occasional events.
As for the shipping container design, council officers say: “Whilst the proposed building and its materials are unconventional it is modern and innovative and consistent with Milton Keynes reputation as an ambitious, forward thinking city.”
