The Holy Trinty Church in Paulton is applying for permission ‘to take up all pews from the nave of the Church, remove the raised platforms on which the pews currently stand, and replace this area with solid oak flooring with penny gaps’. They then propose to, ‘retain eight of the 4m pews, reduced to 2.5 meters in length and mounted on individual bases so that they can be moved when necessary. The remaining seating capacity would then be replaced with individual stackable cushioned seating.’
Copies of the relevant plans and documents may be examined inside the Church.
