A number of parishioners objected to the granting of a petition for the substantial re-ordering of this Grade II* listed church inter alia on the ground that the project should be reconsidered after the imminent retirement of the current incumbent. In granting the faculty, the chancellor rejected this ground, stating that, although the incumbent was the chairman on the PCC, the paradigm in every parish is collaborative ministry. He did not consider that the forthcoming vacancy and the appointment of a new incumbent was a valid or relevant consideration. [RA]
