Development on land used as an amusement park consisting of—
(a)the erection of booths or stalls or the installation of plant or machinery to be used for or in connection with the entertainment of the public within the amusement park; or
(b)the extension, alteration or replacement of any existing booths or stalls, plant or machinery so used.
Development is not permitted by Class A if—
(a)the plant or machinery would—
(i)if the land or pier is within 3 kilometres of the perimeter of an aerodrome, exceed a height of 25 metres or the height of the highest existing structure (whichever is the lesser), or
(ii)in any other case, exceed a height of 25 metres;
(b)in the case of an extension to an existing building or structure, that building or structure would as a result exceed 5 metres above ground level or the height of the roof of the existing building or structure, whichever is the greater, or
(c)in any other case, the height of the building or structure erected, extended, altered or replaced would exceed 5 metres above ground level.
For the purposes of Class A—
“amusement park” means an enclosed area of open land, or any part of a seaside pier, which is principally used (other than by way of a temporary use) as a funfair or otherwise for the purposes of providing public entertainment by means of mechanical amusements and side-shows; but, where part only of an enclosed area is commonly so used as a funfair or for such public entertainment, only the part so used shall be regarded as an amusement park; and
“booths or stalls” includes buildings or structures similar to booths or stalls.
