Powys: Plans to turn church into house resubmitted

A Powys church could soon become a family home after plans were resubmitted.
David Reilly is hoping to convert a Methodist chapel near Churchstoke into a two-bedroom property.
His part-retrospective application is identical to one that granted planning permission to convert it into a residential property in 2020, and then later that year as a holiday let.
The plans for the redundant building in Hyssington would include a living room area with a kitchen/diner, utility room, bathroom, and porch downstairs, with two bedrooms upstairs.
There would be a void over the kitchen.
A planning statement from Mr Reilly, who lives in Bromyard, Herefordshire, explained: "The current planning approval being requested is based entirely on the original planning approval reference 20/0636/FUL being the same in every respect.
"This includes that the proposal is still a two-bedroom property."
Mr Reilly added that to his knowledge, the property has not been used as a holiday let.

Interim finance chief at cash-strapped university quits after days in post

Chris Reilly, who took on the role on an interim basis days at the start of last week, has left the university by 'mutual agreement'. Dundee University is grappling with a financial crisis which has resulted in the Scottish Government using special powers to award a further £40 million to the institution. Faced with a £35 million deficit, the university is looking to cut hundreds of jobs. Professor Nigel Seaton, Dundee's interim principal and vice chancellor, confirmed Mr Reilly's departure in a message to staff – saying the institution is 'moving quickly' to replace him. Prof Seaton, who himself only took on the role after the previous interim principal quit last month, said Mr Reilly's replacement would help take the university through the 'next steps' of its recovery plan. Previous interim principal Professor Shane O'Neill quit the post in June after a report by former Glasgow Caledonian University principal Professor Pamela Gillies was critical of him and other former senior Dundee University figures for their actions before the scale of the crisis became public. That report found members of the university executive group, which included the 'triumvirate' of Prof O'Neill, former principal Professor Iain Gillespie and ex-chief operating officer Jim McGeorge, had 'failed' to 'properly respond to the worsening situation' with the institution's finances in 2024.
