Nature of Application:
Illegal Works
Date of Site Visit:
Friday, 26 June 2015
HWC Representatives:
Katherine Robinson, Penelope Meyer
Reasons for Site Inspection:
Deviations from the approved plans that the permit was based on.
Findings of Site Inspection:
The following deviations occurred:
1. Door way into the Entrance Lobby not instated
2. Instead of 1 WC and 1 Disabled Toilet there is now 2 WC and 1 Disabled Toilet.
3. Arrangement of the above has been reversed.
4. The courtyard has been roofed in
5. The gate to enter the courtyard has been changed to a door
6. A parapet wall had been added to hide roof rather than toilet block being a lean-to structure.
7. This parapet has therefore caused that the thatch of the main church building has had to be cut.
8. A terrible metal box gutter has been added
9. A waste pipe to drain away alter wine/water into the plants - according to Anglican this can't just be drained away into the sewer
10. Instead of just one set of windows causing a terrible roof junction there are now 2 sets.
11. The window has been changed to a door.
12. A low wall was built to accommodate a work counter.
13. Plaster is falling off from the one Steeple.
Recommended Action:
A letter to be sent to the church asking them to state within 14 days why their permit should not be retracted.
