Listed Buildings
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.
