Minor or consequential effects1

  1. There are no provisions which apply to England only that have minor or consequential effects outside England and there are no provisions which apply to England and Wales that have minor or consequential effects outside England and Wales.

Subject matter and legislative competence of devolved legislatures

  1. Part 1 and sections 1 to 17 of the Act make provision in relation to town and country planning. Town and country planning is a devolved matter in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (town and country planning is a conferred matter by virtue of Schedule 7, part 1, paragraph 18 of the Government of Wales Act 2006; it is not a reserved matter listed in Schedule 5 to the Scotland Act 1998; and is not an excepted or reserved matter in Schedule 2 or 3 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998). The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales and the Northern Ireland Assembly could therefore make corresponding provision in respect of these measures.
  2. Part 2 and sections 18 to 36, and 38 to 41 of the Act make provision in relation to compulsory purchase. Compulsory purchase is reserved in Wales. It is not a conferred matter in Schedule 7 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 and is therefore not within the legislative competence of the Assembly. Compulsory Purchase is not reserved under the Scotland Act 1998 and it is not an excepted or reserved matter under the Northern Ireland Act 1998. The Scottish Parliament and the Northern Ireland Assembly could therefore make corresponding provision in respect of these measures.
  3. Section 37 of the Act makes provision in relation to overriding easements. Land law is reserved in Wales. It is not a conferred matter in Schedule 7 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 and is therefore not within the legislative competence of the Assembly. Land law is not reserved under the Scotland Act 1998 and it is not an excepted or reserved matter under the Northern Ireland Act 1998. The Scottish Parliament and the Northern Ireland Assembly could therefore make corresponding provision in respect of this measure.

1 References to an effect of a provision being minor or consequential are to its being minor or consequential for the purposes of Standing Order No. 83J of the Standing Orders of the House of Commons relating to Public Business.
