## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These regulations amend the Town and Country Planning General Regulations 1992, for England only.
Generally, planning permission enures for the benefit of the land. Regulation 9 (effect of planning permission) of the 1992 Regulations makes an exception to this. Where an interested planning authority grants itself planning permission for its own development, the permission enures only for the benefit of the authority or, in the case of joint development, the authority and the other person specified in the application for planning permission as the joint developer.
These Regulations exclude from the ambit of regulation 9 interested planning authorities which are urban development corporations (regulation 2).
An impact assessment has not been prepared in relation to this Order as no adverse impact on business, the third sector or local authorities is foreseen.
