Explanatory note

This Order amends the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Order 1992 (“the 1992 Order”).

Article 3 introduces new conditions in relation to certain development permitted under Class 18 and Class 22 as specified in Schedule 1 to the 1992 Order. The effect is to require a developer undertaking development for the formation or alteration of a private way under those Classes to make an application to the planning authority for determination as to whether the prior approval of the authority will be required before development is commenced. Where approval is not required the development must be carried out in accordance with the details provided to the planning authority and to the extent that approval is required development must be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

Article 2 provides that the new conditions will not apply to development begun before the date on which the Order comes into force.
