A Petition for a Faculty has been submitted for an upgrade to the Church Heating
The Petition for the approval of the proposed heating upgrade in the Church has been submitted to the Diocesan Offices and the formal application to the Registry for the Faculty is underway. The first stage is to observe the public notice period, the notices for which are already displayed in the Main Church Building and in the Porch. This runs until the end of the first week of October. It is noted that Historic England have some objections to the proposed which it has not yet been possible to settle with the Diocesan architects. None of the other consultees have objected. Any objections from interested persons who have seen the public notice should be addressed straight to the Registry. Objectors will be given three options: 1) to withdraw their objection, 2) for the objection to be taken into account by the Chancellor 3) To become party opponent and dispute the application in a Consistory Court. The third possibility is apparently unlikely to be exercised in this case.
It is hoped that the work will be approved before Christmas and should start in the New Year. The detailed estimate of the full cost will only be done after the routing of the new wiring and the designs of the support of the heaters at the back of the church have been completed. It is thought that we are within the final £20K required. The work will require the lifting of a significant number of tiles and pews, and the replacement of the obsolete control electrics in the Lower Tower Room. The aim is a long-term investment to make the system more operationally efficient and to provide heating at the back of the Church – to enable additional activities there in the winter. Several of the existing 70-year-old heaters have failed and the obsolete Imperial standards especially in the control system cannot simply be added to.
