Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) (Scotland) Order 1992 by making provision in respect of certificates of lawful use or development, which were introduced by the Planning and Compensation Act 1991 and which now replace determinations as to whether planning permission is required and established use certificates.
The main amendments, subject to the savings provision set out in article 3, are:
the prescription of procedural and other requirements in relation to certificates of lawful use or development (paragraph 4 of the schedule);
amendment of the 1992 Order, consequential on the repeal by the 1991 Act of the provisions in the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1972, relating to determinations as to whether planning permission is required and established use certificates.
