Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II* listed building 'St Aidan's Church' and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The parking provision would fail to preserve the special interest of the Grade II* listed building by significantly harming its setting through hardstanding, boundary wall removal, and visual obtrusiveness, and the limited public benefits do not outweigh this heritage harm.
