The DAC gives advice on all aspects of buildings (including the architecture, archaeology, art and history of places of worship) to the Diocesan Chancellor, the Archdeacons and parishes.
Although the DAC is a statutory body, with clearly-defined duties in law, the committee attempts to offer the parishes every possible help in developing plans for their church buildings and negotiating their way smoothly through the processes of application. Whilst having a keen eye on matters of conservation, the DAC has the priority of Christian mission firmly to the fore of its thinking.
The earlier communication and consultation begins between the DAC, a parish and other interested parties, the quicker and simpler the process will be. By early involvement we try to help parishes achieve the best schemes possible by bringing first-class professional knowledge, wide experience and the most comprehensive frames of reference to bear on each individual case.
