Section 189: Compensation where development order or local development order withdrawn
300.Section 189 inserts new subsections (2A) (3B), (3C), (3D), (5) and (6) into section 108 of TCPA 1990. Section 107 of TCPA 1990 sets out the entitlement to compensation where planning permission is revoked or modified. Section 108 extends this entitlement to compensation to circumstances where planning permission granted by a development order or a local development order is withdrawn. New subsection (2A) provides that where planning permission of a prescribed description granted by a development order or local development order is withdrawn by the issue of directions under powers conferred by that order, compensation would be payable only if an application for planning permission for development formerly permitted by that order is made within 12 months of the directions taking effect.
301.The effect of new subsections (3B) and (3C) is that, where planning permission granted by a development order is withdrawn, there will be no entitlement to compensation where the permission was granted for development of a prescribed description and is withdrawn in the prescribed manner, and notice of the withdrawal is published not less than 12 months or more than the prescribed period before the withdrawal takes effect. If development is started before the notice is published, compensation will be available unless the order in question contains provision permitting the completion of development.
302.Where planning permission granted by local development order is withdrawn, subsections (3B) and (3D) provide that there will be no entitlement to compensation where notice of the withdrawal is published not less than 12 months or more than the prescribed period before the withdrawal takes effect. If development is started before the notice is published, compensation will be available unless the order in question contains provision permitting the completion of development.
