Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

Article 2 of this Order revokes the Milton Keynes (Urban Area and Planning Functions) Order 2004 (“the 2004 Order”).

The effect of revoking the 2004 Order is that the Homes and Communities Agency ceases to be the local planning authority, in relation to the kinds of development and for the purposes specified in that Order, for the designated area. The planning functions concerned revert to the Council of the borough of Milton Keynes which, but for the 2004 Order, would be the local planning authority.

This Order makes transitional provisions in connection with the transfer of planning functions and planning applications from the Homes and Communities Agency to the local authority and the payment of compensation (articles 3, 4 and 5).
