The Revd Canon Michael Parker (01564-779165)

[DAC304 MINUTE: Archdeacon Heathfield reported that the parish had been in contact with the local planningauthority, which had declined to modify its position regarding the suitability of a permanent installation ofglass-reinforced plastic rainwater good at the church.

Mr Brazier noted that these proposals were an issue for both the civil planning system, which had reached adecision on the case, and the ecclesiastical Faculty system, which had not. He felt that, in the interests of parityand fairness, the Faculty process should be brought to a conclusion.

The DAC hoped that the Chancellor might make a judgement on the case as presented by the parish in its Facultyapplication and formally set out his view on a suitable and appropriate way forward. The DAC was very concernedthat the reputation of the Church of England in its exercise of the ecclesiastical exemption from Listed BuildingConsent was suffering in both the view of Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council and of English Heritage, and thatthis could have an adverse impact upon the relationship of other churches in the Diocese with these bodies.

The Committee NOTED the position.]

As the parish is now drawing up proposals for a wide range of necessary exterior fabric repairs, the Registrar isseeking to bring this Faculty application to replace stolen lead rainwater goods with an alternative material to aformal resolution. The Committee to NOTE.

[DAC305 MINUTE: Archdeacon Heathfield reported that the parish was seeking to establish new toilets in thesouth-west porch, rather than in the north aisle, as this would leave much more space available for use in the bodyof the now partitioned church. The DAC observed that, in this context, it would be satisfied to see toilets installedin this location and it suggested that a site visit take place to discuss the various technical details before the parishcommissioned the formal architect's drawings.

The Revd Tim Hughes ()

[DAC305 MINUTE: Dr Berrow reported that the DAC sub-group had met on 28-Apr to discuss further technicaldetails for the renovation of the old Gas Retort House and had produced several papers, which had then beenconsidered by the project architect. Mr Skingley and Mr Clarke asked that the main entrance draught lobby bereinstated on the phasing plan and recommend that it be installed as soon as possible. Mr Skingley noted that theaim was to establish separate service provision to the different sides of the building and he advised that the cablingbe kept to the smallest size feasible, to minimise the width and depth of any new floor trenches as far as possible.He hoped that as much of the M&E detail could be drawn up and agreed with the DAC before being given to thecontractor.

Mr Brazier observed that the local planning authority had expressed some concern regarding the size of theproposed external ventilation grilles. Mr Clarke observed that the large chimney stack could present a good solutionfor the needed flues but, following the meeting, it was established the stack was free-standing and not within theboundaries of the Retort House property.

Dr Berrow noted that further details would be drawn up as funding allowed and commented that the DAC wouldaim to process new information as quickly as possible, in extraordinary meetings if necessary.

The Committee ENDORSED papers DAC305.4.6a, DAC305.4.6b and DAC305.4.6c and NOTED the position.]

The DAC sub-group met with the architect and structural engineer on 29-May to discuss a number of issuesrelating to the implementation of Phase 1 of the conversion of the old Gas Retort House into a place of worship,including the details of the piling for the internal pods, the renovation of the rainwater good and protection of thebuilding against damp, and the installation of new flues and vents.

The Revd Jim Cox (0121-472 0250)

[DAC304 MINUTE: Mr Clarke reported that he was encouraged by the concept of a 'modern' toilet extension to thechurch, but he advised that an alternative to the suggested timber cladding should be used, as it could provide ameans of accessing the roof.

Mr Shapcott commented that the toilets would need a good ventilation system and noted that the cubicle windowswould not let in a great deal of daylight, so something like movement-activated lighting would be required. He feltthat a light structure that was rafted and well-insulated could be suitable in the context of the ground conditionsand the proximity of the existing building foundations. Mr Shapcott observed that the adjacent yew tree wouldneed to be taken into account as its roots might impinge on the proposed foundation and raft excavation, and thedebris from leaf shedding could block outlets on a flat roof. He wondered whether the existing foul drainage andrainwater disposal systems had the required capacity for this addition already, or whether they would need to beupgraded.

Dr Berrow noted that a DAC sub-group could visit the church to discuss this project, in advance of an applicationfor Faculty permission, if the parish would find this helpful.

The Committee ENDORSED Mr Clarke's and Mr Shapcott's advice and NOTED the position.]

[DAC290 MINUTE: Mr Bridges reported that he had visited the church on behalf of the Victorian Society and hadproduced a detailed paper for them. He advised that the parish should retain the very significant chancel screenand develop the space in front of it, in the nave. Mr Bridges observed that the removal of the organ and theimprovement of the lighting would be of great benefit to the church interior. He recommended that the parish havea full survey of the pews in the church carried out and decide upon the liturgical use of the nave space that theywish to facilitate.

[DAC304 MINUTE: Mr Clarke reported that he was satisfied with the parish's proposed extension to the churchbuilding, which he noted was the product of a great deal of past discussion. Mr Skingley reported that he wassatisfied with the parish's proposals for a new heating system. He suggested that the parish consider the use of fanconvectors that were compatible with condensing boilers and then run the boiler at 55ºC in condensing mode, toachieve its highest efficiency.

The DAC noted that, in its advice paper forwarded to the parish on 11-Sep-14, it explained that a report on thefindings of an appropriate archaeological field evaluation was required in support of an application for Faculty, andthat a full archaeological consultant's briefing document had been drawn up by the Diocesan Archaeological Adviserand provided to the parish at the site meeting of 14-Aug-14, and again with the DAC's formal feedback of11-Sep-14. Dr Berrow explained that an archaeological field evaluation had not been carried out and regrettedthat, as such, the DAC was unable to resolve the petition until this was done, as it had a duty to advise theDiocesan Chancellor on the likely archaeological impact of the works proposed.

The Committee DEFERRED resolution of the petition, pending the submission by the parish of a report on thefindings of an appropriate archaeological field evaluation for the areas affected by the proposed works.]

An archaeological field evaluation of the areas affected by the proposed new extension and interior reorderingworks has been carried out and the final report, and any amendments to the current plans, are expected in duecourse. Dr Hodder to report. The Committee to ADVISE.

The Revd Fr Nicholas lo Polito (0121-458 7432)

[DAC305 MINUTE: Mr Oliver reported, in writing, the proposed Blue Plaque would be quite dominant on the mainelevation of the church, which contained many other equally important features from the Arts & Crafts movementand the Gothic Revival. Dr Berrow wondered why the memorial was to just Kate Bunce, rather than both Kate andMyra Bunce. Mr Bridges suggested that the Civic Society plaque could be mounted in the area of the church towerinstead, and he hoped that people would be able to enter the church easily to view the artwork. Mrs Lloydwondered whether, as an alternative, an interpretative board could be placed inside the church, near to the Buncereredos. Mr Clarke noted that any plaque installed should be fixed into the wall mortar joints, only.

The Committee DEFERRED resolution of the petition, pending the identification of an alternative location for theBlue Plaque.]

The parish wrote on 7-Jun to say that it felt that the proposed location for the Civic Society Blue Plaque on the pieron the south side of the main west door was the ideal option, but it also suggested some alternative positions. MrBridges and Mr Oliver to report. The Committee to RESOLVE.

[DAC304 MINUTE: Mr Clarke reported that the new incumbent's efforts to bring some artwork designed for thechurch at its construction, but never installed, were very positive. He hoped that this project would progressalongside the parish's need to overhaul its original rainwater goods.


A petition is made to: repair and renew all of the church and hall eaves, gutters and downpipes, install new gulliesbelow the downpipes and carry out high-level concrete repairs. The existing guttering is all of the same copperbox-section. The gutter fixing is currently unclear, but it seems likely that the screw/bar reinforcements that spanthe guttering pass into the concrete fascia. It is proposed to replace the copper guttering with powder-coatedaluminium, box-section guttering with a copper patina. Repairs need to be carried out to some areas of theconcrete eaves soffit and will be colour matched to the original white and be equally as smooth as the existing.
