EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

The London Thames Gateway Development Corporation (the corporation) was established by the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation (Area and Constitution) Order 2004 (S.I.2004/1642) for the purpose of regenerating the London Thames Gateway urban development area.

The London Thames Gateway Development Corporation (Planning Functions) Order 2005 (S.I.2005/2721) described, with the use of maps, the portions of the urban development area in which that Order conferred planning functions on the development corporation (“the planning functions areas”) (article 3). This Order amends the portions of the urban development area in which that Order conferred planning functions and replaces those maps. This is to ensure there is no overlap with the area for which the Olympic Delivery Authority will be the local planning authority by virtue of the Olympic Delivery Authority (Planning Functions) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/2185.

Prints of the maps referred to in article 3 of this Order are available for inspection at all reasonable hours in the Library of the Department for Communities and Local Government, Ashdown House, 123 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6HE. The maps are also available at the offices of the London Borough of Barking, Planning and Transportation Department, Municipal Offices, 127 Ripple Road, Barking, IG11 7PB; the London Borough of Hackney, Planning Department, Dorothy Hodgkin House, 12 Reading Lane, London, E8 1HJ; the London Borough of Havering, Planning Department, Mercury House, Mercury Gardens, Romford, RM1 3SL; the London Borough of Newham, Development Control, Town Hall Annexe, Barking Road, East Ham, London E6 6EH; the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, Planning Department, Town Hall, Mulberry Place, 5 Clove Crescent, London, E14 2BG.
