The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Amendment No. 2) (England) Regulations 2010

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend, in relation to England, regulations 3 and 3A of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Regulations 1990 (S.I. 1990/1519) which relate to applications for listed building and conservation area consent.

Their effect is to modify certain procedural requirements for consent applications which are related to planning applications to which article 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2010 (“the DMPO”) refers.

The DMPO consolidates and revokes, in relation to England, the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) Order 1995 (“the GDPO”). Article 18 of the DMPO replaces article 10B of the GDPO which similarly provided for consultation in relation to applications for planning permission for development without compliance with conditions previously attached, and to applications for development not begun but for which planning permission was granted on or before 1st October 2009 subject to a statutory time limit, which has not expired. Article 18 now extends to certain outline permissions where development has begun. Regulation 2(2) amends the reference to article 18 in consequence of this and regulation 2(3) makes a minor correction.

An impact assessment has been prepared in relation to this instrument. The assessment has been placed in the Library of each House of Parliament and copies may be obtained from the Planning Directorate, Department for Communities and Local Government, Eland House, Bressenden Place, London, SW1E 5DU or http://www.communities.gov.uk.
