Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Scottish Office

6th April 1993

This Order amends the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) (Scotland) Order 1989 ("the principal Order"). The principal Order specifies classes for the purposes of section 19(2)(f) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1972, which provides that a change of use of a building or other land does not involve development for the purposes of the Act if the new use and the former use are both within the same specified class.

This Order amends the principal Order by-
(a) removing the exclusion from the principal Order of any use for a purpose involving a hazardous substance (the presence of a hazardous substance will be controlled in future under the Town and Country Planning (Hazardous Substances) (Scotland) Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/323), which come into force on the same date as this amendment) (article 2);

(b) excluding from any specified class use for any work registrable under the Alkali, etc. Works Regulation Act 1906 (previously Class 6-Special Industrial Group A) (article 3).
