RB/5 Alterations and Extensions
Policy RB/5 governs alterations and extensions to Registered Buildings. The Conservation Officer assessed the detached building's design, noting it draws on graveyard rubble walling for integration, retains low eaves despite larger plan, and avoids visibility from key roads. The scheme was deemed non-detrimental and indicative of church vitality.
