Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Part 39 of Schedule 2 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 grants planning permission in respect of the erection of buildings necessary for the purposes of housing poultry and other captive birds to protect them from avian influenza. The extent and nature of the development permitted are subject to limitations. Where Part 39 applies, no specific application for planning permission is needed. Planning permission is granted by Part 39 subject to a number of conditions, including a condition that the development is removed, at the latest, by 21 March 2008.

This Order amends Part 39 by extending the date by which development must be removed to 21 March 2009. It also amends Part 39 by requiring that the development be removed, at the latest, as soon as practicable after the extended date.
