Planning application

Gonville And Caius College, Caius Court Trinity Street Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB2 1TA

Granted Cambridge 26/02887/LBC Listed Building Consent

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Removal of the existing Klais organ, installed in 1981, and replacement with a new mechanical organ to the college specification. Associated power and services alterations, joinery adaptations and finishing. The new organ is designed for the particular acoustic character of the chapel and college use and the available space in the organ gallery. The new organ is estimated at 6 tonnes in weight compared to the Klais at c.10 tonnes. The organ gallery was altered and strengthened in 1981 for the installation of the Klais and it is not anticipated that significant alterations will be necessary for the new Frobenius organ.

About heritage and listed building applications

Listed building consent is needed for works that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without it is a criminal offence. More in our guide to planning application types.
