<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:

w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">St. John’s</st1:place></st1:City> Trust
who for many years have fought to save the building. The Trust is not happy
with the proposed conversion and perhaps saw the removal of the bells as the
thin end of the wedge. It is a pity that we could not benefit from the support
of EH!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;color:black'>I find it interesting that there was not more documentation
put into the application for the removal of the bells. The parallel application
for the conversion of the church (49827) has yet to be determined and if
refused will put everyone back to square 1. In the light of the considerable work
and cost in converting the church, why would the applicant sit lightly
(apparently) to the application for the removal of the bells? The conversion
application has far more supporting documentation. The frame and fittings cannot
be in good shape so extra cost will need to be incurred to make the bells
secure and prevent damage to the bells, fabric and the occupants. Why would any
developer be happy to incur these additional costs? Very odd!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
