A 25% discount is offered to IHBC members on any pre-order and post-publication on-line purchases of this much-needed guide by IHBC member Charles Mynors on the complex legal and practical processes to consider when carrying out works to churches, due out on 2 June 2016 and retailing at £40.
Bloomsbury Continuum explain:
‘This book de-mystifies the whole process of carrying out works to churches. It explains what consents are needed; how they can be applied for; and on what basis applications are decided. The author explores many of the detailed issues that may arise in practice – whether the proposal is to move a shelf in the vestry or to embark on a major refurbishment of the whole church. Topics covered include heating, lighting, access for the less mobile, toilets, kitchens, security, storage, repairs and maintenance. The impact of change on the congregation is considered, as well as the particular problems that may arise where new facilities or new uses are introduced. This indispensable guide highlights issues to consider when contemplating changes and helps the reader to navigate the complex legal and practical processes involved in carrying out works to churches and churchyards.’
