PLANNING
The church is just outside of the 'Town Centre' and conservation area boundaries, although it is within the development boundary. Attleborough is classified as a Market Town and Key Settlement, which makes it a key area for growth. Due to the building's use as a church, it is classified as a "Community Facility". Current Breckland
District planning policy seeks to avoid the loss of such sites and stipulates that any proposals which would result in the loss of a community facility must demonstrate that efforts have been made to retain the facility and that opportunities for conversion to alternative community uses have also been explored. Before a Change of Use can be considered, it is expected that the property should be marketed at a realistic price as a community facility or local service for an appropriate period. For anyone who has a proposed community use for the site, even if different to the current use as a church, please contact the agents. Interested parties are advised to make their own enquires in respect of any planning issues and development opportunities for the property.

VAT
No VAT will be due on the sale.

MONEY LAUNDERING REGULATIONS
Under Money Laundering Regulations we are required to check the identity of the successful purchaser.
