Work started on converting a former Penarth Methodist church into offices before planning consent was given, a council confirmed. An application to convert the former Albert Road Methodist Church is set to go before the Vale of Glamorgan Council's planning committee today for a decision.
Confirming what had taken place, the council said it is "regrettable" that some of the building's stained glass windows have been removed and replaced with clear glass. A Vale of Glamorgan Council spokesperson said: “The developer has carried out a number of works to the building prior to the current planning application being determined.
"Some of these works would have required consent, and others not. It is always regrettable when works are carried out without planning permission, and when this occurs the Council considers whether enforcement action is expedient."
