Some very minor works to churches can usually be carried out without any consents, subject to some standard conditions. These works are on List A, when undertaking works on this list it is good practice to notify your Archdeacon and to consult with your QI architect/surveyor.

Other minor works can usually be carried out without a faculty but with the written consent of the Archdeacon, subject to some standard conditions. These works are on List B and while they can be approved by the Archdeacon, he/she may need to consult with the DAC before giving consent, for this reason applications should be made to the Parish Property Support Team through the online portal and not directly to the Archdeacon. Some guidance on using the application portal  is available.

When submitting an application for the Archdeacon’s consent you should include a PCC resolution and also detailed plans for the proposals. Most applications will not need a Statement of Significance but a short Statement of Need may help the Archdeacon understand the background to your application.

For more detail about works on List A and List B, please download the advice from the foot of the page. If in doubt, check with your Archdeacon of the Parish Property Support Team.
