In relation to applications by interested councils relating to the execution of works for demolition of unlisted buildings in conservation areas, the provisions specified in section 107(3) (application of Chapter 1, etc, to land and works of councils) have effect subject to the exceptions and modifications prescribed in this regulation.

Where an interested council requires conservation area consent they must make an application to the Department for that consent.

Any such application is deemed to have been referred to the Department under section 88 and the provisions of that section apply to the determination of the application by the Department.

Where a council is making an application for consent under paragraph (2) it must, before sending it to the Department, publish notice of the application in accordance with regulation 6(1)(a) and (b).

An application by a council to the Department under paragraph (2) must be accompanied by a copy of all representations duly made in relation to the application.

In this regulation “interested council” has the same meaning as in section 107(6) (application of Chapter 1, etc., to land and works of councils).
