1 Explanatory Note Mission & Pastoral Measure 2011 Draft Amending Pastoral (Church Buildings Disposal) Scheme Grays All Saints Diocese of Chelmsford This note accompanies a draft scheme under the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 which makes provision for the future of a church building, The Church Commissioners provide this information so that interested parties can understand the background to the proposals, make a reasoned judgement on the merits of the draft scheme and, if they see fit, a reasoned expression of support or objection to it. The Current Proposals The Diocese of Chelmsford has recommended proposals for an Amending Pastoral (Church Buildings Disposal) Scheme providing for a new use of the church building and the annexed land (the property) for worship, services and other religious activities in accordance with the rites and customs of the Kingsway International Christian Centre or any other Christian body designated by the Bishop for the time being of Chelmsford and for purposes ancillary thereto. The Commissioners, having considered the proposals for the future of the property, deem it appropriate to proceed to the next stage which is to consult on the accompanying draft Amending Pastoral (Church Buildings Disposal) Scheme. Background Grays All Saints was closed for regular public worship on 1 st July A Scheme made by the Church Commissioners on the 15 th July 1992, authorised the Chelmsford Diocesan Board of Finance to lease the property for use as a community centre and for Christian worship and for purposes ancillary thereto. Since September 1995, the church has been leased by the Thurrock Christian Fellowship (TCF) for use as a community centre and for Christian worship and for ancillary purposes. Provision is now being made to allow the freehold sale of the property to the Kingsway International Christian Centre for worship use.
2 The Building The unlisted plain brick church building was built in 1926 to designs by Sir Charles Nicholson to replace an iron mission church, which once stood on the site. The original plan was of a nave and chancel in one, a west gallery, west bellcote, south aisle and chapel and north vestries. In December 2002, the Commissioners approved plans to sub-divide the interior to create facilities for a nursery as part of the TCF s community use of the building. Planning and access No planning permission is required for the proposed use of the property and access is directly off John Street. Correspondence Further information on sale of the property can be obtained from the Closed Churches Case Officer, Karen Abaka-Wood by at karen.abaka-wood@churchofengland.org or by telephone at Representations against or in support of the draft Scheme Anyone may make a representation for or against any provision of the draft Scheme. Representations should be sent to: Representations Closed Churches Division, Church Commissioners Church House Great Smith Street London SW1P 3AZ Or by to: closedchurches.reps@churchofengland.org Any communication received after 11 th June 2018 cannot be treated as a representation. If we receive representations against the draft Scheme, we will send all representations, both for and against, to the Bishop, whose view will be sought. Individual representors will then receive copies of our correspondence with the Bishop (including copies of all the representations) and they may comment further in writing to us if they wish to. If no representations against the Scheme are received, the Commissioners shall make the Scheme and bring it into effect as provided for in the scheme. Information on the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 and these procedures can be found on the Church Commissioners web-site at where there are also links to download copies of these notes and the draft scheme.
