Part 6 E Buildings closed for regular public worship

Provisions for future use of buildings closed for regular public worship in pastoral church buildings schemes E

60 No other cases to be dealt with by pastoral church buildings schemes E

[F1 (1)] Except in the cases specified in sections 58 and 59 and without prejudice to the provisions relating to the restoration of a building closed for regular public worship to use as a church, no further provision beyond the declaration of closure for regular public worship itself shall be made by a pastoral church buildings scheme with respect to the building closed for regular public worship, but such provision shall be made by the following provisions of this Part and schemes made under it (in this Measure referred to as pastoral (church buildings disposal) schemes).

[F2 (2) Accordingly, where a pastoral church buildings scheme makes a declaration of closure for regular public worship in respect of a church or part of a church, but the Commissioners are not satisfied with the proposals for the future use of the building—

(a) the scheme may nevertheless have effect but only in so far as it provides for closure of the church or part, and

(b) provision as to the use of the building shall instead be made in accordance with the following provisions of this Part.]
