Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of St Barnabas Church Grade II listed building
  • Whether the proposal would be acceptable in character and appearance terms

What decided it

The proposal would preserve the setting of the listed building through its modest scale and appropriate design, and would not harm character and appearance given the site's established commercial context and the building's integration with existing development patterns.
