I'll not comment on all of this thread but I will on Trimmer.
Visually it is virtually identical on the prominent faces of the outside to what it was before, other than the inauthentic and flaked white paint is no longer present and the wire that hung inelegantly across the front has been removed. One of the side windows has been made into a door.
'Before' is here

'After' is here:

There is, I think, a French door our the back where it is invisble from the road.

I don't claim to be an architectural historian and I know Mike is a Historian who cares about heritage. As such he has a detailed knowledge of the more detailed internal and structural 'before and after'.
According to the Mirriam-Webster Dictionary, a pastiche is defined as:
"a literary, artistic, musical, or architectural work that imitates the style of previous work.
EG
"His building designs are pastiches based on classical forms."
This is not a pastiche. It is the original building reconstructed using largely the same materials in a near identical design.

For me I think we now have a viable building (the developers have reportedly taken a bath as a result of strenuous intervention by the council in partnership with Historic England) which fulfils the brief very well as regards the impact on the streetscape and this compares with a building that had been derelict for years and was beginning to fall down. When this happens to listed buildings they often find themselves most unfortunately destroyed by fire or some such catastrophe. This one survives.
