151Amendments to Faculty Rules 2022
The Church of England Synod has agreed changes to the Faculty Rules that have to go to Parliament for enactment from 1st July 2022. The majority of these changes result from the requirements to meet Climate Change requirements but two relate directly to ringing:
An addition in List A is:
A3 (5) The like for like replacement of a wrought iron clapper shaft
An amendment in List B is:
B2 (7) The installation of a sound control measure in a belfry - With the Specified Condition - Any fixings are made into mortar
(The explicit reference to louvres is being removed)
Towers may be affected indirectly by other changes in the rules.
Full details of all the changes are available in the Press Release here:

More information about Faculties (as applicable at present) is available on the CCCBR website - https://cccbr.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/SM_Faculty_Changes_2021_Ver_2-corrected-list-As-to-Bs.pdf -

151Peter - I will paraphrase the legal wording -
List A – includes matters which may be undertaken without a faculty and without the need for
consultation, subject to certain specific and more general conditions.
List B – the archdeacon must be consulted and give notice in writing that the matter may be undertaken subject certain specific and more general conditions, but without a faculty. The archdeacon may impose additional conditions. Note that some matters may not be undertaken without a faculty despite
being included in List B.
Everything else will need a Faculty.
Of course, the church authorities have to be involved from the outset and give their agreement to any work.
