Hollywood superstar at war with Scots council after they REJECT plans to renovate £2million mansion
He has had several victories over the home JEDI FIGHT Hollywood superstar at war with Scots council after they REJECT plans to renovate £2million mansion EWAN McGregor has been refused permission to replace a damaged lead roof at his luxury £2m mansion. The Star Wars actor, 54, wanted to carry out work on the roof at his Carse of Gowrie retreat in Perthshire and applied to his local council for permission. 4 Ewan McGregor had his house plans rejected Credit: PA 4 The Trainspotting star bought the Perthshire home in 2023 Credit: Getty 4 The star wanted to to renovate his £2million mansion Credit: The Mega Agency Documents submitted by his architect showed plans to replace the lead roof with the single-ply membrane Sarnafil. The architects said the work on the lead roof was necessary because the property was at 'high risk' of being targeted by thieves. But the plans have been thrown out by Perth and Kinross Council who ruled the proposals would not preserve the 'fine detail character and special architectural interest' of the C-listed building. A planning report recommended the plans be rejected. Documents submitted by David Bell Architect said: "The existing lead roof is beyond repair, suffering from fatigue cracking, splits and failed flashings. Patch repairs are no longer viable and have led to water ingress, threatening the historic fabric below. "Lead theft may also be a recurring issue.. making replacement with like-for-like materials unsustainable from a security perspective. "The building is at high risk due to the value of lead. Sarnafil has no resale value, making it a non-target for thieves." Refusing him permission, the council said: "The proposed replacement roof structure, single ply membrane and PVC battens, and lantern roof light features would not preserve the listed building's fine detail character and special architectural interest and would not be an appropriate solution or approach in protecting and enhancing the existing roof form and materiality." They added that it would be contrary to the local development plan by 'virtue of re-profiling the roof' and the use of 'non-traditional methods and materials'. Property records show the Trainspotting star bought the Perthshire home in 2023 for £2.35million after it had been on the market for offers over £2.15million.

It comes with a gate lodge and a courtyard of outbuildings and has more than 15,000 sq ft of living space on three floors. It also features a two-bedroom flat, stores and a wine cellar on the lower ground floor. Since buying the home, he has been given permission to erect a replacement garage and to create a new master bedroom and bathroom suite. McGregor also won a fight to repair 'yellowing' and 'water-damage' to the mansion. In December he was given the green light to renovate a lodge on the grounds of the estate. McGregor, who shot to fame as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars, is spending extended periods at his property near his hometown of Crieff, Perthshire, which is set in more than 18 acres of land and gardens. In an interview last year, he said: "I definitely started to feel this pull home. I never saw it coming, it's weird. "I think whoever made the world started with Scotland and got it right."

Trump Trade: Loss of $10B JEDI contract ‘watershed' moment for Bezos
Catch up on the top industries and stocks that were impacted, or were predicted to be impacted, by the comments, actions and policies of President Donald Trump with this daily recap compiled by The Fly: Easily identify stocks' risks and opportunities. Discover stocks' market position with detailed competitor analyses. WATERSHED MOMENT: Sources detail how former Amazon (AMZN) CEO Jeff Bezos made peace with President Donald Trump, with many pointing to Amazon losing the $10B JEDI contract during Trump's first term as a watershed moment, The Financial Times' Anna Nicolaou, Stephen Morris, Rafe Uddin, and Alex Rogers report. According to six people who have worked closely with him across Amazon, Blue Origin, and The Washington Post, Bezos is operating with a 'dose of fear' about Trump, as well as resentment towards what he considers to be the Democrats' 'vilification' of Big Tech during the Biden administration. ROLE IN TRUMP ADMINISTRATION: Tesla (TSLA) stock has plummeted over 40% this year, erasing about $536B in market value, due to concerns about economic growth, Trump's trade fights, and CEO Elon Musk's role in the administration, The Wall Street Journal's Hannah Erin Lang and Owen Tucker-Smith report. Some investors are selling their Tesla shares due to disapproval of Musk's government cuts, or moral opposition to his more controversial social-media posts, while others are concerned that Musk is too focused on other things and losing faith that the stock could stay on track, according to the report. INVESTMENT IN U.S.: Rio Tinto (RIO) wants to increase its investment in the U.S., especially in copper, after President Trump signed an executive order to streamline permitting processes and boost government financing for minerals projects, Rhiannon Hoyle of The Wall Street Journal reports. 'It's clear that under the Trump administration, there is an increasing recognition of the need for domestic sources of copper and other critical materials in the U.S., to support manufacturing and the country's energy future,' Katie Jackson, head of the company's copper business, said in an email, according to the Journal. GLOBAL TRADE TARIFFS: Loop Capital downgraded FedEx (FDX) to Sell from Hold with a price target of $221, down from $283. On April 2nd, the Trump Administration is scheduled to unveil its comprehensive tariff strategy for global trade and FedEx's brand is synonymous with global trade, the firm tells investors in a research note. Loop adds that as economists ratchet up U.S. recession risk, it sees FedEx as a 'really bad recession stock' because thin Express margins amplify the earnings hit whenever there's pressure on the top line. TARIFFS CONCERNS: William Blair downgraded Valmont (VMI) to Market Perform from Outperform. Following a meeting with Valmont management this week, the firm told investors that management is increasingly cautious regarding the impact expected tariffs on Mexico could have on earnings in the near term. The company's original 2025 guidance issued in February only contemplated tariffs on the portion of its business in which steel sourced from Mexico is used to produce structures that are shipped to the United States, but the recent meeting with management made it clear that the current expectation is that tariffs on Mexico would also include product made in Mexico with steel sourced from the United States, William Blair noted.

The force is strong with this JEDI
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Step aside, Darth Vader. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)'s Joint Extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) coronal Diagnostic Investigation, also known as JEDI, has an even bigger task to balance the force in space, giving researchers a brand-new view of the sun's atmosphere. The instrument will be a state-of-the-art multi-thermal EUV imager that will include two telescopes, specific to studying the solar wind and extreme space weather events. It is planned to take flight on the European Space Agency (ESA)'s Vigil space weather mission in 2031, and will allow scientists to get an even deeper understand of space weather by studying the sun's atmosphere in a less-explored region and at a different angle; at Lagrange Point 5 (L5). There are areas in space where there's a happy medium of both gravitational and centripetal forces, which are known as Lagrange points. At these locations, spacecraft such as satellites can stay put and remain stagnant while taking observations without being pulled away in different directions. This location is a rare spot to park a probe, as it's trailing Earth's orbit by roughly 60 degrees. It's been around for billions of years, located nearly 19 million miles (30 million kilometers) away from our planet, and also is a solid point to call home; even asteroids remain almost frozen in time in the same location! 'Any time you go to a new place, you have new discoveries, and I think there's going to be great discoveries we're going to get both with the new location at L5 and with the new capability of JEDI. The observations we will get from the Vigil mission will provide the side view of solar storms as they're coming to earth,' Don Hassler, the project lead at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, told 'When you're observing these solar storms from Earth, you don't really see the ones that are coming directly at you because they're halo coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which is a term meaning they're not as easily identifiable. So, you'll be able to see these from this mission and it'll be the ones that actually hit Earth. You'll be able to see the storm that's coming right before it produces an aurora.' The two telescopes that make up JEDI, the Space Weather Operational Coronal Imager (SWOC) and the Enhanced Wide-angle Observations of the Corona (EWOC), will work in tandem to capture high resolution images to paint a picture of the different parts of the sun's atmosphere. Think of it this way; when you take photos of the same object from multiple angles and from different distances, it helps you understand the entire story of what you're seeing in front of you. JEDI is helping fill in the gaps of data not observed by other space weather instruments, such as the Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph Experiment (LASCO) instrument aboard NASA and the ESA's SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) and the Compact Coronagraph-1 (CCOR-1) aboard NOAA's GOES-19. 'We're so used to looking at coronagraph images with the occulting disk that we kind of ignore the fact that there's stuff under there that we don't see. JEDI has the ability to study the mesoscale structure, which is the backbone of the quiet solar wind. We're going to be able to link these EUV images on the disk and fill that space from the coronagraph,' Hassler said. 'The solar wind is structured basically because of how it is formed, and sun's middle corona is the link between all the structure that we see on the surface, on the disk, with the structure that we see out in the corona. We're going to be imaging this region on a regular basis with JEDI producing images of this middle Corona on a 10-minute basis.' Related Stories: — New NASA coronagraph will measure temperature, speed of solar wind from ISS — Space weather: What is it and how is it predicted? — Solar wind: What is it and how does it affect Earth? By having an extra pair of eyes on the sun, forecasters will be able to tap into information 24/7, and begin to learn more about solar flares as they occur. This will contribute to improved space weather forecasts so advisories and warnings can be issued with more lead time, benefitting both end users that could be impacted by solar storms on Earth and even more time to plan ahead to view auroras that may happen at lower latitudes from stronger geomagnetic storms.
