The petition sought permission for a scheme of repairs and refurbishments to this Grade II* listed church. The substance of the petition was not contentious but the chancellor identified a serious procedural error on the face of the papers. The public notices required under Part 6 of the Faculty Jurisdiction Rules 2015, using the phraseology used in the petition and the Diocesan Advisory Committee's notification of advice, used the following words to describe the works: ‘repairs and refurbishments in accordance with the Schedule of Works ref 1403A prepared by Jane Holt Architects 16.02.18 and accompanying drawings numbered …’. The chancellor observed that that description would be meaningless to those for whom the public notices were displayed, and was therefore insufficient. A public notice should not be an invitation to embark on a quest for information before the plans could be understood; rather it should be self-contained and comprehensive, be comprehensible without reference to other documents and use straightforward language. It should not contain any explanation or justification for the proposals, which should be found in the statement of needs. The chancellor granted an interim faculty for the works to proceed on condition that the public notices should be redisplayed in proper form. In the event that any objection was received at the registry a direction could be made requiring the works to cease pending consideration of the objection. [RA]
