OTHER NEWS:As part of the investigation, the council’s Built Heritage Conservation Officer has reviewed the works and decided that listed building consent is not required. A Powys County Council spokesman added: “The council’s remit and responsibilities only relate to land use planning related matters. It is imperative now therefore that matters are not only corrected but that not one grave used as a driveway to this gospel hall. "Over the last two weeks, we have listened carefully to feedback from the community, and following further discussions with Powys County Council, we have suspended all works at Bethany Chapel. We are committed to learning from mistakes and making things right with the local community.”
