Abstract

The Secretary of State for National Heritage and the Secretary of State for Wales have made the Ecclesiastical Exemption (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Order 1994 which is due to come into force on 1st October 1994. The exemption, which has hitherto covered all ecclesiastical buildings which are for the time being in use for ecclesiastical purposes, will in future be restricted to certain specified denominations which possess or have agreed to introduce acceptable internal procedures for dealing with proposed works to listed buildings and to unlisted buildings in conservation areas. The main purpose of this leaflet is to summarise the procedures of these exempted denominations.
