In granting a petition for the removal of pews, the court noted that it had received objections from Historic England and the Victorian Society, neither of whom elected to become parties opponent (the latter because of the lack of necessary resources). The court observed that it did not distinguish objectors based on why they had chosen not to become parties opponent. All objectors with a sufficient interest would always have their views taken into account in all cases if they wished to maintain their objections but did not wish to oppose a petition formally. The degree to which their objections would affect the court's decision was dependent only on the merit of the objections. [DW]
