Proposal

Full Planning - Proposed construction of a new level access and inclined approach to the main entrance to the west elevation of the church. The intent is to provide access into the building to persons with reduced mobility as well as families with young children. The new platform will be built while retaining the existing steps in situ, meaning that no historic building fabric will be removed.
