A gospel hall could be demolished to make room for new homes in a Conwy village. Huw Jones has applied to Conwy County Council’s planning department, seeking planning permission to demolish the existing Gospel Hall and Meeting Room of the Evangelical Fellowship on Mill Road, Llanfairfechan.

The work is yet to start on the vacant building, but if agreed the applicant wants to build six new homes. According to the application form, neighbours are yet to be consulted. Welsh Water said capacity existed in the local sewerage system to receive domestic foul-only flows.

But the water board also said no surface water from an increase in the size of the roof or impermeable surfaces should be allowed to drain into the public system. The plans will likely be approved or refused by the delegated authority of planning officers or debated at a future planning committee meeting.

The International Criminal Court is facing pushback and doubts as its member states meet
The International Criminal Court's member states open their annual meeting Monday while the court faces pushback over arrest warrants for Israeli officials, sexual harassment allegations against the court's chief prosecutor and a very empty docket. The Assembly of States Parties, which represents the ICC’s 124 member countries, will convene its 23rd conference to elect committee members and approve the court’s budget against a backdrop of unfavorable headlines. Last month, judges granted a request from the court’s chief prosecutor Karim Khan to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister and Hamas’ military chief, accusing them of crimes against humanity in connection with the nearly 14-month war in Gaza.
