Paragraph 16
Notwithstanding any amendment by this Act of sections 138 to 151 of the principal Act, the description of land contained in section 138(1)(b) of that Act (land allocated by a development plan for the purposes of a government department, etc.) shall continue as one of the specified descriptions for the purposes of those sections in their application to any district to which this paragraph applies.
This paragraph applies to any district for which no local plan is in force under Part I of this Act—
allocating any land in the district for the purposes of such functions as are mentioned in section 33(1)(a) of this Act; or
defining any land in the district as the site of proposed development for the purposes of any such functions.
To the extent that section 138(1)(b) of the principal Act survives by virtue of this paragraph and for so long as it does so, the amendment by this Act of section 139(3)(a) of that Act (definition of " relevant date " by reference to section 138(1)(b)) shall be treated as not displacing the reference in that paragraph to section 138(1)(b).
