Flats plan for empty church rejected as bats might be present

|July 03, 2025
PLANS to convert a disused Baptist church into six flats have been refused due to a dispute over bat protections.
-
The former Pisgah Baptist Church in Talywain, Torfaen, has been vacant for six years and would have been converted into six flats in a development that the county council acknowledged would have provided “much-needed housing”.
The application was first refused last October after the developer, Beth Jones, disputed the council's position that she should carry out further checks of whether bats were roosting in the 1820 church.
