An application has been submitted for work to be done to restore stone and flint on the exterior of a historic church in Ipswich town centre.
St Lawrence Church in Dial Lane is a Grade II* listed church that dates back to the 15th century.
The church now also houses a community café, but its exterior has fallen into disrepair.
Ipswich Borough Council has now sent an application to its planning and development committee to conduct stone and flint repair works on the site - and scaffolding has already gone up.
The borough council sets an automatic eight-week target date for a decision on all planning applications it receives.
In the early 1970s, there was virtually no one left residing in the parish of St Lawrence, and it was soon closed down and declared redundant.
However, in 2006, Ipswich Borough Council and Suffolk County Council jointly developed the church as a community resource centre and its restoration was funded entirely by the councils.
This work led to its bells being returned in 2009, which has since been a part of a BBC feature that marked the coronation of King Charles last year.
