Paragraph 9 Transitional provision: neighbourhood planning
Any step taken or started before the commencement date by a borough planning authority in relation to an application transmitted to the Corporation under paragraph 8(3) must be treated on and after that date as a step taken or started—
in relation to the development area, or part of the development area, as corresponds to the area, or part of the area, to which the application relates, by the Corporation; and
in relation to such of its area outside of the development area as corresponds to the area, or part of the area, to which the application relates, by the borough planning authority.
Where the borough planning authority transmits an application to the Corporation for determination under paragraph 8(3), the application must be accompanied by a copy of any representations received by the borough planning authority concerning the application.
Where any planning document has been, or is in the process of being, issued by the borough planning authority in relation to an application before the day on which it is transmitted to the Corporation under paragraph 8(3), no further planning document is required to be issued by the Corporation solely because the application has been transmitted.
