(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Town and Country Planning General Regulations 1992 (“the 1992 Regulations”), for England only.
Generally, planning permission enures for the benefit of the land. Regulation 9 of the 1992 Regulations (which applies in England and Wales) makes an exception where an interested planning authority grants itself planning permission for its own development. In such cases, 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). For England, regulations 9A and 9AA of the 1992 Regulations disapply this exception in the case of some categories of authority.
These Regulations remove the exception altogether in relation to England, so that planning permission granted by any interested planning authority in England to itself will enure for the benefit of the land. This change will not affect planning permission granted before these Regulations come into force on 23rd February 2018.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, adverse impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
