(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order adds a new Part 25A to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Order 1992. Part 25A grants planning permission in respect of certain development which is necessary for the purposes of housing poultry and other captive birds to protect them from avian influenza. Where Part 25A applies, no specific application for planning permission is needed. Planning permission is granted by Part 25A subject to conditions requiring notification to the planning authority and removal of the development once the need for it has ended, or by 26th March 2008, whichever is the earlier.
A regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in relation to this Order. The assessment has been placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre and copies may be obtained from the Scottish Executive Development Department, Victoria Quay, Leith, Edinburgh EH6 6QQ.
