This Order amends the publicity requirements set out in the Town and Country Planning (Section 62A Applications) (Procedure and Consequential Amendments) Order 2013 (“the 2013 Order”).

The changes introduced by this Order are—

  • a requirement to notify an infrastructure manager, when the development to which the application relates is situated within 10 metres of relevant railway land, as defined in this Order (article 4);

  • where the Secretary of State imposes a condition on a planning permission that requires a particular matter to be dealt with before the development starts, a requirement on the Secretary of State to provide reasons , in the notice of decision, for the imposition of each condition (article 6); and

  • requirements as to the form of such notices (article 7).

Article 8 provides that the amendments of the 2013 Order do not have effect in relation to applications made before this Order comes into force.

An impact assessment has not been prepared in relation to this instrument as the impact on business or charities or voluntary bodies is considered to be negligible.
