This Order revokes and consolidates the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Isles of Scilly) Order 1990 (“the 1990 Order”) and the Town and Country Planning (Isles of Scilly) Order 2005 (“the 2005 Order”) and incorporates changes arising as a result of the abolition of conservation area consent by section 63 of, and paragraphs 1 to 6, and 12 and 13 of Schedule 17 to, the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (“the 2013 Act”), which have effect from 2nd October 2013.

Article 1(2) to this Order provides that changes to be made by sections 60 and 61 of, and Schedule 16 and paragraphs 7 to 11 and 14 to 20 of Schedule 17 to, the 2013 Act to the Listed Buildings Act (which relate to heritage planning and listed buildings) shall have effect from the day on which those changes are brought into force by a future Commencement Order made under the 2013 Act.

Paragraphs 12 and 13 of Schedule 17 to the 2013 Act abolished, in relation to England, the requirement to obtain conservation area consent for the demolition of certain buildings in conservation areas – planning permission will instead be required under section 55 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and paragraph 6 of Schedule 17 to the 2013 Act inserted a new offence - at section 196D of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 - of failing to obtain the required planning permission in respect of such demolition.

This Order also provides for the exercise of planning functions in the Isles of Scilly by the Council of the Isles of Scilly and it directs exceptions to and adaptations and modifications of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 for the purposes of application of the legislation to the Isles of Scilly.
