Status:
This version of this provision is prospective.
Status
The term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section. A version of a provision is prospective either:
- where the provision (Part, Chapter or section) has never come into force or;
- where the text of the provision is subject to change, but no date has yet been appointed by the appropriate person or body for those changes to come into force.
Commencement Orders listed in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ box as not yet applied may bring this prospective version into force.

There are outstanding changes not yet made by the legislation.gov.uk editorial team to The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Order 1992. Any changes that have already been made by the team appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
