the Government has rejected a plan to make the Christ Church Cathedral safe but the group behind the proposal claims it has been further developed and meets all concerns.
The Great Christchurch Buildings Trust, which is campaigning to save the cathedral, presented a concept plan to make the building safe to the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (Cera) last year.
A document filed with the High Court by the Anglican Church this week reveals Cera does not favour the plan. The proposal involves inserting a large frame into the cathedral to provide a safe space for workers. Other frames will then be erected inside.
