The petitioners sought leave to install a chiming clock on the south face of the Norman church tower. Objections were noted on the grounds of noise and aesthetics. The chancellor was satisfied that, as the clock was to chime between the hours of 9.00 am and 5.00 pm on weekdays only, the level of inconvenience of the sound of the bell was not sufficient to justify refusing to allow the installation of the chiming clock. The chancellor concluded that, as the majority of persons, including the DAC, felt that the clock was aesthetically satisfactory, he should not refuse the petition on that ground either. The petition was granted as prayed. [JG]
