In determining a petition for a re-ordering of a church which formed part of a more extensive programme of works that would also involve the extension of a vestry, the chancellor had to consider whether section 17 of the Care of Churches and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure 1991 was engaged. That section applies special procedural requirements where works would involve demolition or partial demolition. Following the decision of Mynors Ch in Re St James's Chapel, Callow End [2001] 1 WLR 835, the chancellor held that the removal of a wall of a vestry in order to facilitate its extension did not amount to demolition or partial demolition for the purposes of section 17. He noted that the new section 17 that was to be substituted by the Church of England (Miscellaneous Provisions) Measure 2014 would make matters even clearer with its helpful definition of ‘partial demolition’.
