The development will consist of: A) Change of use from the church’s most recently permitted commercial uses (restaurant, offices, exhibition, conference, educational and studio) to residential use comprising 8 no. apartments. B) Alterations to the external façades, including: partial demolition of four sections of the existing external wall; replacement of two non-original windows with new glazed units; and removal of two existing stained-glass windows to be replaced with new glazed windows. The stained-glass windows will be carefully removed and reinstated elsewhere on site. C) Partial demolition of sections of the existing pitched roofs to accommodate new rooflights. D) Replacement of three non-original timber entrance doors with new timber-framed doors incorporating fixed glazed panels. E) Removal of one non-original internal partition wall.
