PLANNING (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1972 - SECT 13



13.(1) The Ministry shall by order (in this Order referred to as a
"development order") provide for the granting of planning permission.

(2) A development order may either

(a)itself grant planning permission for development specified in the order or
for development of any class so specified; or

(b)in respect of development for which planning permission is not granted by
the order itself, provide for the grant of planning permission by the Ministry
on an application in that behalf made to the Ministry in accordance with the
order.

(3) Planning permission granted by a development order may be granted either
unconditionally or subject to such conditions or limitations as may be
specified in the order.

(4) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (3), where planning
permission is granted by a development order for development of a specified
class, the order may enable the Ministry to direct that the permission shall
not apply either in relation to development in a particular area or in
relation to any particular development.

(5) Any provision of a development order whereby permission is granted for the
use of land for any purpose on a limited number of days in a period specified
in that provision shall (without prejudice to the generality of other
references in this Order to limitations) be taken to be a provision granting
permission for the use of land for any purpose subject to the limitation that
the land shall not be used for any one purpose in pursuance of that provision
on more than that number of days in that period.

(6) For the purpose of enabling development to be carried out in accordance
with planning permission, or otherwise for the purpose of promoting proper
development in acordance with a development plan, a development order may
authorise the Ministry to suspend the operation of any enactment contained in
a local Act or of any regulations, orders, or bye-laws made at any time under
any statutory provision in relation to any development specified under the
order.
