Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations specify the requirements for applications for planning permission under the Town and Country Planning Act 1971. They also provide for the giving of directions by a local planning authority about further information and the supply of evidence.

These Regulations replace certain provisions of the Town and Country Planning General Development Order 1977 (S.I. 1977/289), the remainder of which is now consolidated in the Town and Country Planning General Development Order 1988 (S.I. 1988/1813). There are no significant changes to the provisions replaced by these Regulations. Applications for approval of reserved matters and applications to determine whether planning permission is required are dealt with in articles 8 and 9 of the Town and Country General Development Order 1988.
