In June 2010 the vicar and churchwardens petitioned for a retrospective faculty authorising works undertaken illegally during the course of 2010. In determining the petition the chancellor expressed regret at the ‘cursory and less than fulsome’ nature of the explanations which had been filed by the petitioners, the inspecting architect and the contractors, in accordance with the court's directions. In reluctantly granting the retrospective faculty the chancellor attached conditions that the inspecting architect should make written representations as to why his name should not be removed from the list of approved inspecting architects; that the contractors should not be approved for any building works concerning churches in the diocese for a period of 12 months; and that even if they fell within the class of cases which might otherwise be put before the archdeacon, any faculty applications during that period are to be determined by the chancellor.
