  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations, which replace the Town and Country Planning (Special Enforcement Notices) (Scotland) Regulations 1984 following the commencement of the relevant provisions contained in the Planning and Compensation Act 1991, apply to special enforcement notices those provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1972 (as amended by the 1991 Act) which are specified in the Schedule to these Regulations subject to modification where appropriate. The Regulations make no substantive changes to the previous Regulations.\nThe background to the Regulations is as follows:—\nSection 3 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1984 empowers planning authorities (with the consent of the Crown) to issue special enforcement notices in respect of a development carried out on Crown land by persons such as trespassers at a time when there is no private right to occupy the land. Section 3(9) applies to special enforcement notices certain of the provisions of section 85 of the Town and Country Planning (Scot land) Act 1972 relating to enforcement notices issued in respect of breaches of planning control and empowers the Secretary of State to apply other provisions of the 1972 Act subject to modification.",
