Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (the principal Order). The principal Order specifies classes for the purposes of section 55(2)(f) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, which provides that a change of use of a building or other land does not involve development for the purposes of the Act if the new use and the former use are both within the same specified class.

This Order amends the principal Order by removing the exclusion from the principal Order of any use for a purpose involving a hazardous substance (the presence of a hazardous substance will be controlled in future under the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Act 1990, which comes into force on the same date as this amendment).
