In brief

BIDDULPH: Plans have been drawn up to covert a former Sunday school into flats.

Yasser Heald has applied for permission for a change of use for Wesleyan Sunday School, in Station road. He wants to turn the property, which was built in 1861, into four apartments

The building was most recently used as a fabric shop but has been empty since 2007.

A statement supporting the plans says: "The conversion can quite easily be achieved without a need for further extensions."
