Section 15GA Revision of local planF1
A local planning authority may, at any time after their local plan has come into effect, prepare a revision of it.
If the Secretary of State directs them to do so after the local plan comes into effect, a local planning authority must prepare a revision of the local plan, in accordance with such timetable as the Secretary of State directs.
Subsection (4) applies if any part of the area of the local planning authority is an area to which an enterprise zone scheme relates.
As soon as practicable after the occurrence of a relevant event—
the authority must consider whether their local plan should be changed in the light of the enterprise zone scheme;
if they think that any changes to their local plan are required in consequence of the scheme they must prepare a revision to their local plan to give effect to the changes.
The following are relevant events—
the making of an order under paragraph 5 of Schedule 32 to the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980 (designation of enterprise zone);
the giving of notification under paragraph 11(1) of that Schedule (approval of modification of enterprise zone scheme).
References to an enterprise zone and an enterprise zone scheme must be construed in accordance with that Act.
This Part applies in relation to a revision under this section as it applies in relation to a local plan, subject to such modifications as may be prescribed.
