Planning application

Church Of All Saints Station Road East Garston Hungerford

Split decision West Berkshire 23/01988/CERTP Certificate of Lawfulness (Proposed)

Works: Loft or dormer

Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.

Proposal

Repairs to the church tower roof as recommended by our architect. Most repairs involve like for like construction, the only item that will be altered for health and safety reasons is the current flat roofed dormer exit to the tower roof this will be changed to a pitched roof to increase headroom of the exit, it will be covered in welsh slate to match the existing tower roof. The dormer is not visible from the ground. The Parochial Church Council would like confirmation that planning permission is not required since it does not materially affect the external appearance of the place of worship (Historic England Guidance).
