(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The Town and Country Planning Act 1971 provides a right of appeal to the Secretary of State against certain decisions of local planning authorities.

Under Schedule 9 to the Act the Secretary of State may by regulations prescribe classes of appeals for determination not by him but by a person appointed by him (an “inspector”).

These Regulations amend the Town and Country Planning (Determination of appeals by appointed persons)(Prescribed Classes) Regulations 1981. Inspectors are enabled to determine listed building consent and listed building enforcement notice appeals relating to the demolition of Grade II listed buildings as well as to those relating to their alteration and extension. The Secretary of State will himself continue to determine appeals relating to Grade I and Grade II* listed buildings.
