EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations revoke the following statutory instruments to the extent specified–

(a) the Fees for Inquiries (Standard Daily Amount) Regulations 1988;

(b) the Fees for Inquiries (Standard Daily Amount) Regulations 1990;

(c) the Fees for Inquiries (Standard Daily Amount) Regulations 1994;

(d) the Town and Country Planning (Costs of Inquiries etc.) (Standard Daily Amount) Regulations 1996;

(e) the Fees for Inquiries (Standard Daily Amount) Regulations 1998;

(f) the Town and Country Planning (Costs of Inquiries etc.) (Standard Daily Amount) Regulations 1999;

(g) the Town and Country Planning (Costs of Inquiries etc.) (Standard Daily Amount) (England) Regulations 2000;

(h) the Town and Country Planning (Costs of Inquiries etc.) (Standard Daily Amount) (England) Regulations 2002;

(i) the Town and Country Planning (Costs of Inquiries etc.) (Standard Daily Amount) (England) Regulations 2003;

(j) the Town and Country Planning (Transitional Arrangements) (England) Regulations 2004; and

(k) the Infrastructure Planning (National Policy Statement Consultation) Regulations 2009.

The Fees for Inquiries Regulations 1988, 1990, 1994 and 1998 applied where a Minister was authorised under or by virtue of specified provisions to recover his costs in connection with the holding of an inquiry. They all specified different amounts, each superseding the last, and all have now been superseded by the Fees for Inquiries (Standard Daily Amount) (England) Regulations 2000.

The Town and Country Planning (Costs of Inquiries etc.) (Standard Daily Amount) Regulations 1996 and 1999 and the Town and Country Planning (Costs of Inquiries etc.) (Standard Daily Amount) (England) Regulations 2000, 2002 and 2003 applied where the Secretary of State was authorised to recover costs borne by him in connection with unitary development plan, local plan or simplified planning zone inquiries or other hearings or examinations in public in respect of structure plans (“qualifying inquiries”). The Regulations specified a standard daily amount which may be charged for each day the person appointed to hold it was engaged in the conduct of the inquiry or other hearing or was otherwise engaged on work connected with it. They all specified different amounts, each superseding the last, and all have now been superseded by the Town and Country Planning (Costs of Inquiries etc.) (Standard Daily Amount) (England) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/421).

Part 2 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 changed the local development planning system in England. The Town and Country Planning (Transitional Arrangements) (England) Regulations 2004 provided transitional arrangements on this change. The Regulations have become obsolete since the introduction of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012.

The Infrastructure Planning (National Policy Statement Consultation) Regulations 2009 prescribed the persons whom the Secretary of State must consult before designating a statement as a national policy statement under Part 2 of the Planning Act 2008. These Regulations are now redundant.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.

1990 c. 8, amended subject to transitional provisions and savings specified in SI 2005/2847 art. 3, by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2005 c. 5, Schedule 6, paragraph 11.

They were previously transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by article 2 of, and Schedule 1 to, the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672); see the entry in Schedule 1 for the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (c. 8) as substituted by article 4 of, and Schedule 3 to, the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/253).
