The United Reformed Church like most mainstream
churches has been granted Ecclesiastical Exemption
from the need to obtain consent from the planning
authority and instead may apply to the Synod’s
Listed Buildings Advisory Committee (LBAC)
If any changes to a Listed Church
Building or a building in a Conservation Area are
being considered then contact should be made with
the Secretary to the LBAC.
Maintenance
that replaces like with like should be discussed
with the Secretary to the LBAC. It may however normally be carried out without formal LBAC approval.
