Significant structural defects mean the St Peter's Church in Boniface Lane should be demolished "as a matter of priority', planning documents to Plymouth City Council say.

Diocese of Plymouth trustees closed the modern-looking church six months ago following professional advice from surveyors and engineers and the adjacent school hall and nearby parish church are being used instead for Mass.
