EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend, in relation to England, regulations 3 and 3A of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Regulations 1990 (S.I. 1990/1519) which relate to applications for listed building and conservation area consent.

The effect of the amendments is to remove the requirement to include three copies of the form and a design and access statement with an application for listed building or conservation area consent where the application is related to an application to which article 10B(1)(b) of the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) Order 1995 refers. Article 10B(1)(b) refers to applications for planning permission for development which has not begun and for which planning permission was granted on or before 1st October 2009 subject to a time limit imposed by or under section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (general condition limiting duration of planning permission) or section 92 of that Act (outline planning permission) which has not expired.

An impact assessment has been prepared in relation to this instrument. The assessment has been placed in the Library of each House of Parliament and copies may be obtained from the Department for Communities and Local Government, Eland House, Bressenden Place, London, SW1E 5DU (Telephone 020 7944 3676).
