Part 7, Chapter 1: Content of development consent orders

Section 130: National Trust land

225.This section relates to land which is held inalienably by the National Trust. It provides that in certain circumstances an order granting development consent which authorises the compulsory purchase of such land or certain rights over such land, will be subject to special Parliamentary procedure. This is the case if the National Trust has made a representation about an application for such an order and this has not been withdrawn.
