Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order is concerned with the further implementation in Scotland of Council Directive 85/337/EEC (OJ No. L175, 5.7.85, p. 40). It provides that no simplified planning zone scheme has effect to grant planning permission for development which requires environmental assessment. The Town and Country Planning (Simplified Planning Zones) (Scotland) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/2043) provide that a planning authority shall not include such development in a simplified planning zone scheme.
