A local firm, Wraxall Builders, has submitted a planning application to Bath and North East Somerset Council, aiming to preserve the Church of the Good Shepherd in Batheaston and convert it into a childcare facility. Despite conservation experts advocating for its listing, the former church was previously approved for demolition.
