On the lodging of a petition for a faculty in respect of any building or part of a building, any curtilage of a building or any object or structure fixed to a building or part of a building or within its curtilage, which is subject to the faculty jurisdiction by virtue of section 3(2) of the Care of Places of Worship Measure 1999, a fee of £130 shall be payable to the Diocesan Board of Finance (within the meaning of the Diocesan Boards of Finance Measure 1925) of the diocese concerned (in this Order called “the Board”) in respect of work done in relation to the petition (before or after it is lodged) by the Diocesan Advisory Committee and any such work done by any archdeacon in the diocese:

Provided that—

(1) The Board may in its discretion waive the whole or part of that fee in a particular case where it considers that such waiver is appropriate having regard to any financial contribution to the funds of the diocese made by those responsible for the building concerned, those who worship regularly in that building or any other persons who in the Board’s opinion have a substantial interest in or connection with that building; and

(2) No fee shall be payable under this part of this Table in respect of any faculty petition relating to a building, part of a building, curtilage, object or structure where the building concerned is one specified in section 1(2)(e) or section 3(5) of the Care of Places of Worship Measure 1999.
