(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These regulations amend the Town and Country Planning General Regulations 1992, for England only.
Generally, planning permission enures for the benefit of the land. Regulation 9 (effect of planning permission) of the 1992 Regulations makes an exception to this. Where an interested planning authority grants itself planning permission for its own development, the permission enures only for the benefit of the authority or, in the case of joint development, the authority and the other person specified in the application for planning permission as the joint developer.
These Regulations exclude from the ambit of regulation 9 interested planning authorities which are urban development corporations (regulation 2).
An impact assessment has not been prepared in relation to this Order as no adverse impact on business, the third sector or local authorities is foreseen.
1990 c.8; section 316 was substituted by section 20 of the Planning and Compensation Act 1991 (c.34); see section 336(1) for the definition of "prescribed". These powers are now vested in the Welsh Ministers so far as they are exercisable in relation to Wales. They were previously transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by article 2 of, and Schedule 1 to, the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999, S.I. 1999/672; see the entry in Schedule 1 for the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (c.8) as substituted by article 4 of, and Schedule 3 to, the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/253). By virtue of paragraphs 30 and 32 of Schedule 1 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c.32), these powers were transferred to the Welsh Ministers.
S.I. 1992/1492: relevant amending instruments are S.I. 1992/1982 and S.I. 1998/ 2800.
By virtue of section 336 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, for the purposes of that Act and regulations made under it, "urban development corporation" has the same meaning as in Part 16 of the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980 (c. 65)
