# The Teesside Development Corporation (Planning Functions) Order 1987, Article 5: Transitional provision: planning applications


(1) This article applies as respects any application for planning permission or for a consent, approval or determination under the 1971 Act or any order or regulation made or having effect under that Act which —
(a) was duly made before this Order came into force to an authority which ceases by virtue of the preceding provisions of this Order to be the planning authority responsible for determining the application (“the previous authority”); and
(b) has not been determined when this Order comes into force.
(2) Except where the previous authority resolves with the agreement of the applicant to transmit the application to the development corporation for determination, that authority shall have in relation to the application the same powers and duties as it would have if this Order had not been made.
(3) Where the previous authority transmits an application to the development corporation for determination, the application shall be treated as received by the corporation from the applicant on the day on which it is transmitted to the corporation.
(4) Where an appeal is made to the Secretary of State under section 36 of the 1971 Act against a decision or determination made in relation to land within the development area by an authority which ceased by virtue of the preceding provisions of this Order to be the local planning authority responsible for making such decisions or determinations that authority shall continue to be the local planning authority for the purposes of the appeal, but shall notify the development corporation of the appeal and transmit to the Secretary of State any representation received from the development corporation.
