This church has stood empty for a long time, and I cautiously welcome it being brought back into use. But I do have concerns and I want to ensure that any work that is carried out is sympathetic to the nature of this heritage asset.

I wonder whether one visitor parking space is enough, especially as this building sits in an area with some parking issues, and is adjacent to resident parking schemes.
