“Ministry Units wishing to build, alter or demolish any church, hall, vicarage or other building must obtain a Faculty from the Diocesan Bishop for such work. Faculties are also required for the alteration, addition or removal of church ornaments. The Faculty petition form the Ministry Unit needs to complete can be found below. All parts of the form need to be completed as per the statutory requirement. Details can be found in The Faculties Statute 1942 (Revised).

 Steps are:

1. Fill out the relevant Faculty Petition form, including the required endorsements and accompanying documentation.

2. When all the above is completed, send the application to Archdeacon to the Northern Region Carole Hughes or Archdeacon to the Southern Region Michael Berry.

3. After the completion of the Faculty application form the Archdeacon is required to visit the site and write a report for the Faculty Committee.

 The Archdeacon will then consult the Bishop and pass on the application to the Faculty Committee via the Property Manager. The Faculty Committee reviews the Petition and makes a recommendation to the Bishop.

 Please note that the work being considered must not be commenced until the Faculty has been issued."
