Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Whiston Conservation Area
  • The effect on the setting of the Grade II* Listed Church of St Mary Magdalene

What decided it

The existence of established gaps in boundary walls elsewhere on School Hill for parking purposes meant the removal of a relatively small section of wall would preserve rather than harm the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed church.
