This is a notice to the
public that a Faculty has been applied for. The form of Public Notice is supplied
with the Petition, together with directions for its display and an example
of how it should be completed. It is completed and signed by the Petitioners
and published at the Church. At the same time it is recommended that the plans
are exhibited at the Church and the Public Notice is drawn to the attention
of the congregation at each Sunday service during the period of Public Notice.
The Schedule of works or purposes on the Public Notice
form should refer to all the works or purposes set out in the Schedule to
the Petition. If the Schedule refers to plans, then the Public Notice should
contain an address at which the plans can be viewed during the Public Notice
period. Here again the summary of the works in the Certificate from the DAC
is likely to be a help. Petitioners should follow the wording of the Certificate
wherever possible. The Registrar is available to advise Petitioners on the
wording of the Public Notice if necessary. The Public Notice must be returned
to the Registrar (see paragraph 18(g)).
If the Public Notice is not completed satisfactorily the Registrar will
be obliged to order a further Public Notice to be published, and this will
cause delay.
