A Worcestershire church is going to erect a shed so it can store flower arranging materials and gardening equipment.

Malvern Hills District Council has approved plans by Little Malvern Priory to build a shed in its churchyard.

Planning and conservation officers felt that as long as the shed is finished in a dark stain and is partially obscured by bushes, it won’t have a harmful impact on the Grade I listed church.

As no foundations are required and the shed won’t be fixed to anything, no archaeological investigations are required.
