The development of former burial grounds, whether or not they are consecrated, is subject to planning regulations and to any conditions placed on the granting of individual planning permissions. Relevant health and safety and environmental legislation would also apply. Monitoring compliance with these requirements is a matter for the relevant local authority in the first instance.</p><p> </p><p>The disturbance of human remains in ground consecrated to the rites of the Church of England must be authorised by the Church of England.
