The proposed works as set out in the Petition included: "to reorder the chancel area to provide a raised platform which will be level with the current chancel steps; to provide a movable Nave Altar to be crafted from two redundant two-seater stalls; to provide a three sided dais complete with removable altar rails to allow people to kneel when receiving Holy Communion and to provide a stage area when hosting school concerts and choirs". The Victorian Society objected, but did not become a party opponent. On the basis that the applicants were motivated by a real desire to make the church more accessible both to the community and to the congregation in terms of their participation in the Liturgy, and that the proposals were completely reversible, the Chancellor granted a faculty.

Faculty granted for the installation of solar panels on the south side of the roof of an unlisted church built in 1940 in the Arts & Crafts style.

The proposal was to install an audio-visual system in the church, to include a number of retractable screens and a camera. There were three letters of objection, stating that the screens would be detrimental to the character of the Grade II 20th century church; there was no need for permanent screens; the financial cost was not justified; and there were concerns about privacy and data protection. The Chancellor was satisfied that there was a genuine need for the screens and that what was proposed was the best option. He therefore granted a faculty.

A faculty was granted for the replacement of the church light fittings installed in 1970 with a combination of 'wall washer' lights and fixed lights.

The Parochial Church Council wished to enter into a lease/hire agreement with the Ethiopian Orthodox Teklehaymanot Church (EOTC), which had already been using the church for worship and community events, with a view to eventual purchase by EOTC at a cost of £175,000’. The arrangement formed part of a broader diocesan reorganisation under the “Fit for Mission” initiative, which merged the parishes of St Gabriel’s and St Cleopas due to declining congregations and the higher maintenance costs of St Gabriel’s. Several former members of St Gabriel’s congregation and local residents objected, arguing that the church had not been properly closed under the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 and criticising the transparency of the decision-making process. Some expressed concern that the agreement would effectively end Anglican use of the building. The Chancellor held that these objections related to parish reorganisation and potential closure—matters outside the faculty jurisdiction. His role was limited to considering the effect of the proposed agreement on the church building’s heritage and proper use. As the hire agreement posed no risk to the building’s fabric or heritage and would place the current occupation on a proper legal footing, the faculty was granted.

The Petitioner wished to have her late husband's remains exhumed and reinterred in a churchyard nearer to where she now lived, her reason for the request being that she now found it difficult to visit her husband's grave. Applying the principles laid down by the Court of Arches in Re Blagdon Cemetery [2002] Fam 299, the Chancellor refused to grant a faculty.

Faculty granted for the installation of a handrail to the wall of the spiral staircase leading to the ringing chamber of the church tower, the handrail to be made of polypropylene with an outer rope covering. A similar handrail had previously been fitted without authority and had been removed by direction of the Commissary General on health and safety grounds, on an application of the Archdeacon, due to poor fixings.

The Parochial Church Council wished to install an oil condenser boiler in a position outside the church which would be screened from view. The new boiler would replace a boiler system installed in 2019, which by 2022 had become unusable. Attempts had been made to correct defects, but without success. In spite of an objection to the contrary, the Chancellor was satisfied that the PCC had considered alternative eco-friendly options. An electrical heating system was not possible as the electricity supply to the church was inadequate. Although oil would be used for the new boiler system, the PCC envisaged converting to biofuel when available. The Chancellor granted a faculty for 5 years, with liberty to apply at the end of that period for an extension, when consideration would be given as to whether biofuel or an improved electrical supply would be available at that time.

The widow of the former priest who died in office applied for permission to have her husband's ashes interred in a granite casket resting on a concrete slab below the base and to the west of the newly re-positioned font in the baptistery at the eastern end of the south aisle of the church and to erect a white marble plaque set within a timber surround above the casket, which would sit flush with the surrounding timber boarded floor. The Chancellor was satisfied that (1) the interment inside the church would not set a precedent, as the PCC would only support interment in church in the case of the death of a priest in office and (2) the priest's service and the affection in which he was held satisfied the test applicable to the introduction of a memorial plaque into the church.

The Rector and Churchwardens applied for a faculty for the installation of a WC in the north-west corner of the church, the replacement of the pipe organ with an electronic organ, the re-siting of some pews, and the rearrangement of some windows. The only contentious item was the removal of the pipe organ to accommodate the WC facilities. The pipe organ had been installed in the 1950s and was of doubtful provenance. The Chancellor granted a faculty.
