Pott Shrigley St. Christopher

Proposed new path for disabled access to the Churchyard

Statement of Need Background St. Christopher’s Church, Pott Shrigley is popular and well attended. Typical Sunday congregations are approximately 15 adults at the 8.30am Communion service and approximately 60 adults and 12 children at the 10.45am service. There are approximately 120 people on the electoral roll. A Praise and Play toddlers’ group meets weekly and the Church Guild (mostly retired people) meets monthly in the church building. In addition, approximately 10 weddings are conducted in the church each year and a similar number of funerals. During 2019, plans are being progressed that will bring more visitors to the church and churchyard outside of the times of regular and occasional services – the PCC is progressing plans for the church building to be open to visitors during daylight hours and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission are erecting a plaque by the church entrance to give notice that the graveyard contains Commonwealth war graves. The lych gate at the main entrance to the churchyard on Shrigley Road is also the village war memorial and attracts visitors in its own right. Accessibility for disabled people (and babies in prams) into the church building itself and within the building is good as the building is all on a single level and there is no step at the doorway. The church toilet is also suitable for wheelchair users. However, the lych gate (the man entrance to the churchyard and hence church) includes 2 stone steps. Access for wheelchairs and prams was previously provided by a steep metal ramp sitting across half the width of the steps. This ramp was steeper than current standards for disabled access and prone to icing in the winter. It was removed on the decision of the PCC following an accident to a member of the congregation who slipped and fell on the ramp on an icy morning. The Need The PCC believe it is important that the church, churchyard and lych gate are easily accessible to wheelchair users and to people with prams and hence want to provide suitable access for this. Proposal It is proposed to form a new opening in the churchyard wall immediately to the left of the lych gate when viewed from Shrigley Road, and form a new, sloping path that initially will follow the inside of the churchyard wall and then turn through right angles to join the existing path a short distance from the lych gate – see attached sketch. Handrailing will be provided to both sides of the new path. The curved coping stonework of the churchyard wall currently immediately adjacent to the lych gate will be re-used to form the end of the wall adjacent to the new opening.

2 of 50

A small shrub will be removed, and the church sign re-located to further along the wall. Site investigation has confirmed that the dressed stonework of the lych gate wall adjacent to the proposed new opening continues down to the current ground level alongside the lych gate but no lower. Hence a low stone wall will be built at the foot of the side-wall of the lych gate to conceal its foundations. This part of the churchyard has not been used for burials. The new path will be surfaced with asphalt to match the existing churchyard path and provide maximum grip. A stone edging will be provided adjacent to the lych gate steps. Why is this needed, and why now? The Church of England states that churches have a responsibility to make sure that, as far as is reasonably possible, their buildings and activities are accessible to everyone. Ramped access used to be provided to the churchyard and hence the lych gate war memorial and the church by a steep metal ramp but this was removed following an accident to a member of the congregation in icy weather. Work to develop an alternative ramped access was started at this time but then suspended whilst the PCC developed proposals for an extension to the church building which could have delivered alternative access routes with no steps. However, PCC resolved in June 2019 that these extension proposals should not be progressed further, hence requiring this proposal to be raised. Justification The proposals have very low impact on the significance of the church and the churchyard. The only aspects that will be physically modified are a very small section of the churchyard wall to create the opening for the new path, and the small piece of land within the churchyard where the new section of path with retaining walls will lie. The view of the churchyard and church from outside the lych gate will be slightly altered but not impaired, and the immediate setting of the telephone kiosk will not be impacted. The public benefits of providing non-stepped access for disabled persons and people with prams to be able to readily and independently access the church building and the lych gate war memorial are seen by the PCC to significantly outweigh any perceived harm caused by the changes proposed. Alternatives considered Provision of a new metal ramp of greater length to give a gentler slope has been evaluated and rejected as it would impede the already limited car-parking provision for the church and neighbouring cottages, be vulnerable to damage from cars, and the land beyond the lych gate is not owned by the church. Such a ramp would also impede access for people wishing to use the steps. A permanent, stone-built ramp outside the lych gate would present even greater issues about the land ownership.

3 of 50

Lowering the existing stone slab paving within the lych gate and reconstructing the existing path to an appropriate gradient has been rejected as it could impact the foundations and structural integrity of the lych gate, the site investigation indicates that the dressed stonework of the lych gate does not continue below the current level of the slabs, and it would change the appearance of an old structure that is important to the local community. Forming a new entrance and path to the right of the lych gate as viewed from Shrigley Road would adversely impact the roots of a large (and hence old) yew tree. The two other entrances to the churchyard are not suitable for modification for wheelchair users – one is too narrow, has 4 steep steps and opens immediately on to the roadway of Shrigley Road; the other is only accessible via a dirt track with nowhere suitable for a car to drop-off and collect a wheelchair user.

Pott Shrigley St. Christopher

Proposed new path for disabled access to the Churchyard

Statement of Significance 1. History and description of the church building, contents, churchyard and setting 1.1 Summary history of the church Very few records have come down from early history regarding Pott Shrigley. The two names relate to two distinct settlements – Pott in the south, near Bollington, and Shrigley to the north, near Poynton. The homes of the respective leading families for each – Pott Hall and Shrigley Hall – remain at their original sites although much changed over the centuries. The earliest facet of the church and churchyard is a Preaching Cross in the churchyard which has been estimated as 10th Century. When William de Downes married Maud Shrigley in 1313 he became Lord of the Manor of Pott Shrigley. This was a thriving estate on good but hilly country, with farming and forestry. By the 15th Century mining for coal and the underlying “bakestone” (fireclay) was carried out on the slopes of the valleys where the narrow seams of coal came close to the surface and were accessible. The Lord of the Manor was then also the patron of Pott Chapel, a chapel of ease of Prestbury Parish. The then chapel building is now the chancel of the current church. By the end of the 14th Century, the nave had been built and the north aisle added. It is possible that there was some form of open-air belfry at the west end of the nave as the church has an early “Ring of Three” bells dated to 1430 (by an unknown source), cast by Robert Crowch. Alternatively, these bells may have hung elsewhere until the tower was built (see below). The Downes family remained at Shrigley Hall for five centuries but it is unknown whether they were the actual sponsors of these works. The earliest firm date regarding the church is provided by the 1492 will of Geoffrey Downes. In this, he refers to the south aisle built to be his chantry and makes provision for the building of the tower and the payment of a priest to conduct services. It is unknown when the tower was actually built but it probably dates from the early 16th century with battlements and pinnacles added in the 19th century. The will also provided for the building of a school within the churchyard but no traces of this exist today – the current school building in the village was built in the early 1820’s. In 1880, a new parish of St Christopher’s Pott Shrigley was created, independent of Prestbury with Rev George F Apthorp as the first vicar. The South Porch was added to the church in 1907 and a small extension added to the north side of the church in 2001 to provide a toilet. 1.2 Description of the church building and contents

7 of 50

The church is built in millstone grit random rubble with dressings of brown, grey and red sandstone to windows and doorways, except for the tower which is of narrow slabs of grey millstone grit. The tower’s diagonal buttresses, instead of being sharply defined from the main walls, die into them, rounded off in a curious manner, so that it is difficult to say where the walls finish and the buttresses begin. The roof is of (local) Kerridge stone tiles and of camber beam construction in the nave and chancel with a barrel ceiling internally in the nave. The south aisle has an arcade of octagonal piers; the north aisle is carried on a cluster of 3 colonnettes Most windows are stained glass with the majority dating from the 19th century. The main east window was restored in 1872 and contains some medieval glass. The box pews are oak and, it is believed, came originally from Gawsworth when that church was being re-ordered in the 19th century. The communion rails are of an early period and consist of turned balusters placed between oak top and bottom rails. The oak Holy Table with the 1698 date forming part of its decoration is thought to have originated as a Jacobean dining table, and the font at the rear of the church is also stated to be Jacobean. 1.3 Description of the churchyard The churchyard lies to the west, south and east of the church and is wholly within the Pott Shrigley Conservation Area and the Peak District National Park. The oldest part of the churchyard is delineated from the rest by a series of lime trees – it is thought that the gravestones in this area were mostly sunk and covered in grass to create a greensward in the late 19th century. The remainder of the churchyard results from a number of expansions over the centuries, contains a small number of reasonably old yew trees and has gravestones of numerous sizes, shapes and materials (more harmonized in recent years). The oldest graves marked by stones date from 1768 and 1782. Two grave plots are Commonwealth War Graves Commission graves with three casualties interred in them – one from World War 1 and two from World War 2. The churchyard is walled along its entire boundary except for three gateways – a small pedestrian gate in the north boundary, a larger gate in the west boundary immediately facing the west door, and the (now) main entrance via the lych gate in the south east of the churchyard. The wall is of coursed local stone with larger slabs as a coping. Along some of the east boundary the churchyard is higher than the bordering road such that the wall is a retaining wall. Although clearly of some age, there are no records of when the wall was built – the listing details for the Grade II listed Church Cottages adjacent to the south of the churchyard record their construction as mid – 19th century but later than 1849 and it is possible the current churchyard wall was built at the same time. A Grade II listed preaching cross stands in the churchyard immediately to the south of the church. Its listing details record that the base is probably medieval and made of two large, square stone blocks, the upper with ET cut into it. The cross has a tall octagonal shaft and cross-piece perhaps added when the cross was repaired in the late 18th century / early 19th century. A Grade II listed Type K6 telephone kiosk stands just outside the churchyard to the east of the lych gate. A small area of trees subject to a Tree Preservation Order stand on land owned by the church but immediately outside and to the north-west of the walled churchyard.

8 of 50

The lych gate dates from 1920 and bears the inscription “Erected by the Parishoners of Pott Shrigley 1920 as a memorial of the Great War 1914 – 1918 and to commemorate all those then belonging to the Parish who served their King and Country”. Its construction is low sidewalls of coursed stonework supporting an oak frame and pitched roof of Kerridge stone slabs. Engraved stone slabs supported in the oak frame record the names of those killed, wounded and who served. There are no records as to its design or construction. The lych gate is paved with large stone slabs and has two stone steps at its entrance; a tarmacadam path then leads part way across the churchyard to join paved stone paths leading to the south porch and west door. There are no records of and no evidence on the ground of burials ever having occurred to the south of the tarmacadam path (the area concerned in the proposal). 2. The significance of the church (including its contents and churchyard) Pott Shrigley Church is Grade I listed and of High significance (using Church Building Council definitions). Its detail is not considered further in this document as the proposal does not impact the building. The churchyard as a whole as the setting for the church building is of Moderate significance but individual features of it (the churchyard wall, the lych gate) are of Low-Moderate significance with the exception of the Preaching cross (Moderate-High significance). Although outside the churchyard and not on church land, the K6 telephone kiosk and its setting adjacent to the churchyard wall should be mentioned and is of Low-Moderate significance. 3: Assessment of the impact of the proposals on the significance The proposals have very low impact on the significance of the church and the churchyard. The only aspects that will be physically modified are a very small section of the churchyard wall to create the opening for the new path, and the small piece of land within the churchyard where the new section of path with retaining walls will lie. There are no records of and no evidence on the ground of burials ever having occurred in this piece of land. The slightly unusual curved coping stone currently at the end of the wall adjacent to the lych gate will be re-used to form the end of the wall adjacent to the new path. The view of the churchyard and church from outside the lych gate will be slightly altered but not impaired, and the immediate setting of the telephone kiosk will not be impacted.

minimum 18mm exterior grade plywood sheeting or steel sheeting hoarding to a minimum height of 4.8 metres, and, similarly

above any climbing points, on the building, cills offsets and the like. All plywood sheeting must be fixed to 75mm x 100mm

timbers. The timbers must be either clipped to the scaffolding by appropriate scaffold clips, or secured to a substantial stand-

alone timber frame complete with adequate internal bracing to prevent collapse if attacked. (note oriented strand board (OSB)

is not an acceptable form of hoarding).

b. All joints of the plywood or steel sheeting facing are to be tightly butted to prevent tools being used to prise them apart.

c. Fixing 100mm annular ring shank nails at 150mm centres are to be used to fix the plywood boards to the timber frame.

Tamper proof screws may be used as an alternative.

d. The bottom of the hoarding is to follow the contour of the ground leaving no gaps between the hoarding and the ground.

e. Where the hoarding abuts a building the plywood or steel sheeting is to cut to match closely the contours of the building

to prevent any gaps being formed.

f. Doors & access All lower level ladders including access ladders to any scaffolding are to be removed from the site or

secured & rendered unusable and inaccessible at the end of each days working.

g. Any doors let into the hoarding are to be of exterior grade solid wood type fitted in a purpose built frame. The door and

frame must be flush with the exterior face of the hoarding. Heavy duty 75mm x 100mm steel butt hinges are to be used to

hang the door, the hinge pin being burred over to prevent it being driven out. A minimum of 3 hinges to be fitted to any door.

h. A ‘Yale’ latch type lock is to be fitted to all doors. When the site is not attended doors must be secured by a heavy duty

locking bar, secured to the door and frame by bolts bolted through. The locking bar must conceal the bolt heads. A heavy

duty close shackled padlock conforming to at least BS EN 12320 security grade 4 and designed for external use will be used

to secure the locking bar.

i. Lighting The exterior of the hoarding is to have floodlights (500w) angled out and towards the ground at a height of

three metres from the ground and not more than four metres apart. These lights are to be switched on by ‘PIR’ detectors

during darkness.

j. The inside of the scaffold is to be adequately lit with floodlights angled inwards and up through the scaffold illuminating

its entire height. These lights must be switched by photo-electric cell for illumination at night only.

k. Intrude detection The scaffolding is to be protected by a scaffolding alarm system installed in accordance with the NSI

Code of Practice for the design, installation and maintenance of scaffolding alarm systems NCP 115.

l. The system is to be installed and maintained by a company on the official list of recognised firms of the NSI or SSAIB

inspectorate bodies and must also appear on the local police force list of compliant companies.

m. The system is to combine notification locally by an instantaneous audible device activation together with notification to a

permanently manned alarm receiving centre conforming to BS 5070 or BS EN 50518 via a minimum Grade 2 alarm

transmission system under BS EN 50136. The system must be designed to utilise combined PIR detectors and cameras to

detect unauthorised movement. Images from devices must be reviewed by the manned alarm receiving centre and action

taken if unlawful activity is identified.

n. A copy of the scaffolding alarm system design proposal is to be sent to Ecclesiastical for approval. The specification

must include confirmation by the alarm company that, either sub-contractors will not be used or specify the extent to which

sub-contractors will be used where appropriate.

Attachments in green are included within the consultation section

Attachments in black italics are superseded or duplicated and do not form part

of the application

Date Message

28/08/2019

To: Caroline Hilton

From: David

Gartons

We have been working with Graham Holland to develop a proposal to

provide a new pathway adjacent to the lych gate at Pott Shrigley

church to provide access for wheelchair users, people with

pushchairs/prams and anyone else who finds the steps difficult. We

are at the stage of having a very near final design and Statements of

Need and Significance, but still need to complete detailed

specifications and obtain tenders for the work before we can submit a

Faculty. I anticipate that we should be able to submit the Faculty

application in time for the November DAC meeting.

Please can you advise if it would be helpful to submit the current

information for the DAC to be able to see it and make any informal

comments? I note that I have missed the submission deadline for the

September meeting so this would be for the October meeting

28/08/2019

To: David Gartons

From: Caroline

Hilton

The DAC would be very happy to provide informal advice. Please can

you can send me the proposal details that you have – including any

design details currently available, the Statement of Need, Statement of

Significance, and photographs. I will put this proposal on the agenda

for the DAC meeting taking place on 18 October.

Another thing to think about is that, in addition to faculty permission,

local authority planning consent would be needed for the introduction

of a new pathway

16/09/2019

To: Caroline Hilton

From: David

Gartons

With attachments

Please find attached the documents and drawings regarding the

proposed new pathway. Please can you present these for discussion at

the October DAC meeting? We are aware of the need to also apply for

planning permission.

27/09/2019

To: David Gartons

From: Katy Purvis

We have received some feedback from the reviewing architect ahead

of the next DAC meeting with the following comments

The overall concept seems reasonable. For formal submission the DAC

would like the following:-

1. Clarification will be needed from Cheshire East Council on any

planning issues.

43 of 50

2. Although a gradient is indicated, some relative numerical levels

would be helpful on account of the complexity of layout.

3. Presumably a full specification will be provided in due course.

Please could you liaise with Graham over points 2 and 3, and let us

know if there is any progress on the planning application?

22/10/2019

To: David Gartons

From: Katy Purvis

DAC advice

I am writing to let you know that at its meeting of 18 October 2019, the

DAC considered the proposals for the new path and wishes to offer

the following informal advice:

a) The Committee considered that whilst the scheme was

workable it was not fully persuaded of the reasoning for the

proposed long path and it felt that there may be aesthetic

disadvantages with this option. It suggested that using the

existing route through the lychgate and taking out the steps

would be much less visible and possibly less costly (and the

local authority may be happier with this)

b) It presumes that a specification is to be provided

c) With regards to the proposals as they stand, it asks that the

numerical levels of the gradients be provided

d) It noted that Planning Permission would be required from the

local authority

National Park

Authority

Application Ref PP-08403920v1

Your Local Planning Authority, Peak District National Park Authority

has received your online Full planning permission application and will

now validate it within their normal work flow and timescales.

Application Details

Applicant: Mr David Garton,

Agent: Mr Carl Thorgaard, Graham Holland Associates

Application site address: St. Christopher's Church, Shrigley Road, Pott

Shrigley, Macclesfield,' SK10 5RT

Date of submission: 16:20 on 10 January 2020

If they need more information or have any queries they will contact

you directly.

23/01/2020

To: Katy Purvis:

From: David

Gartons

Thank you for the comments from the DAC, and many apologies for

the delay in replying. I have discussed the points raised with our

architect, Graham Holland, and our comments are:

1. We are concerned that lowering the paved slabs within the

lych gate would likely expose ‘raw’ substructure and

foundations such that substantial or total rebuilding would be

required. The sidewalls of the lych gate sit on the current

steps, so removing the steps would undermine the walls. We

are also concerned that leaving the gate as existing but

lowering the paved slabs would result in an out of proportion

opening.

44 of 50

2. A specification is now to hand and will be submitted with

faculty application.

3. The drawings have been revised to include the gradient values.

4. A planning application has now been submitted to Peak Park

via the Planning Portal.

We believe that the proposal as presented is reasonably discreet and

works well without undue intervention into the lychgate.

I will be making the faculty application in the next few days.

23/01/2020

To: David Gartons

From: Katy Purvis

Thank you for this response, please could you send the specification if

it’s available, and I can send the response and spec for review ahead

of your formal application?

DAC advice

I am writing to let you know that at its meeting of 24 February 2020,

the DAC considered the application for the path, and subject to any

modifications which may be required for the planning permission and

to the full details regarding the proposed wall

lights, resolved to recommend the scheme with the following proviso:

a) The works to be under the direction and subject to the

inspection of the Church Architect

This means we will be able to raise the DAC Notification of Advice and

public notices when we have had confirmation of the lights and any

changes due to planning.

27/04/2020

To: David Gartons

From: Katy Purvis

I was wondering if there was any update on the detail of the lights or

any modifications required by the planning authority for the path, as

this can be processed when those details are finalised

45 of 50

27/04/2020

To: Katy Purvis

From: David

Gartons

I have had a telephone message from Graham today saying that he

had been informed that planning permission has been granted. I will

liaise with Graham to get the details of any changes and make sure

that you receive an updated design that reflects the changes agreed.

Graham also said in his message that there is a condition requiring

archaeological survey before the work commences.

28/04/2020

To: David Gartons

From: Katy Purvis

Thanks David, I look forward to an update when you and Graham are

ready

To: David Gartons,

From: Katy Purvis

I’ve heard back from the archaeology advisor as follows

“Thanks for your email. As we have discussed, this is in the

Peak Park and, as in other parts of the Diocese which extend

into other planning authorities, I defer to their planning

archaeologist. However, I think that I can say that the condition

is pretty standard from an archaeological point of view and

appropriate. If the parish feel that they need a formal brief

before seeking quotes from an archaeological contractor, the

thing to do would be to go to the Peak Park archaeologists and

ask them to prepare a brief. However, it may be that the

architect already has somebody on their books who they wish

to use. Whatever happens, they would need to prepare a

project design for submission to the Peak Park as part of the

discharge of conditions process. Hope this helps.”

30/04/2020

To: David Gartons,

Graham Holland

From: Katy Purvis

I’ve heard from the architect review, and he is content with the

amendments required by Peak District National Park. This can now be

processed under delegated powers by Caroline, although the notice

period will be delayed due to Coronovirus lockdown. We will let you

know if the policy on public notices changes in the near future.

If you want appeal against your local planning authority's decision then you must do so within 6 months of the date of this notice.

Appeals can be made online at: https://www.qoy.uk/planninq-inspectorate. If you are unable to access the online appeal form, please contact the Planning Inspectorate to obtain a paper copy on telephone number: 0303 444 5000 or by email to enquiry pins.qsi.qoy.uk.

The Secretary of State can allow a longer period for giving notice of an appeal, but will not normally be prepared to use this power unless there are special circumstances which excuse the delay in giving notice of appeal.

The Secretary of State need not consider an appeal if it seems to the Secretary of State that the local planning authority could not have granted planning permission for the proposed development or could not have granted it without the conditions they imposed, having regard to the statutory requirements, to the provisions of any development order and to any directions given under a development order.

The Inspectorate will publish details of your appeal on their website. This may include a copy of the original planning application form and relevant supporting documents supplied to the local authority by you or your agent, together with the completed appeal form and information you submit to the Planning Inspectorate. If you supply personal information belonging to a third party please ensure you have their permission to do so. More detailed information about data protection and privacy matters is available in the Planning Inspectorate's Personal Information Charter.

Appeals Examined by Inquiry

If you intend to submit an appeal that you would like examined by inquiry then you must notify the local planning authority and Planning Inspectorate (inquirvappeals planninqinspectorate.gov.uk) at least 10 days before submitting the appeal. You will be required to complete the Notification of an intention to submit an appeal email template, which can be found under this link: Inquiry Guidance.

Purchase Notices

If either the local planning authority or the Secretary of State refuses permission to develop land or grants it subject to conditions, the owner may claim that he can neither put the land to a reasonably beneficial use in its existing state nor render the land capable of a reasonably beneficial use by the carrying out of any development which has been or would be permitted.

In these circumstances, the owner may serve a purchase notice on the Council (District Council, London Borough Council or Common Council of the City of London) or, where the land is situated in a National Park, the National Park Authority for that Park in whose area the land is situated. This notice will require the Council or Authority to purchase his interest in the land in accordance with the provisions of Part VI of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

POTT SHRIGLEY PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL Tuesday, 30th April 2019 at 7.45 pm

Present: Rev David Swales, Duncan Matheson (Chair), David Gem (DHG), David Garton (DGG), Peter Kennedy, Ros Johnson, Mary Currell, Sheila Garton, Sally Winstanley, Kath Matheson, Eileen Buffey, Chris Day, Mike Akerman, Ian Clarke, Pam Cooke, Anne Murphy, John Ryley, Kim Swales Apologies: Andy Phillips Prayers: David Swales Welcome: Duncan welcomed Kim Swales to her first PCC meeting as Deanery Synod representative. Disabled Ramp – DGG had circulated drawings after the last meeting. Ian Greenwood has looked at the option of lowering the slab inside the lychgate. There are a couple of problems with this - involving the need to establish ownership of the lychgate (built by the Parish Council by public subscription) and ownership of the land it stands on (possibly part of the Lowther estate.) A practical problem would be the need to expose whatever is under the slab, possibly leading to the structure becoming unstable. The excavation would also go below the level of the dressed stone walls which reach the level of the slab but not further. After discussion it was agreed that the proposal to build a separate entrance was the preferred option. DGG proposed that the PCC should progress the provision of disabled access by means of a sloping path in accordance with Graham Holland’s drawing no. 4054 dated February 2011. Seconded by Kath Matheson. Passed by unanimous vote.
