EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order revokes the following statutory instruments to the extent specified in the Schedule—

(a) the Town and Country Planning (Development Plans) Order 1974;

(b) the Town and Country Planning (Telecommunication Networks) (Railway Operational Land) Special Development Order 1982;

(c) the Urban Development Corporations (Appropriate Ministers) Order 1988;

(d) the Coal Industry Act 1994 (Consequential Modifications of Subordinate Legislation) Order 1994;

(e) the London Docklands Development Corporation (Planning Functions) Order 1997;

(f) the Urban Development Corporations in England (Planning Functions) Order 1998; and

(g) the Town and Country Planning (London Borough of Camden) Special Development (Amendment) Order 2004.

The Town and Country Planning (Development Plans) Order 1974 made transitional provisions consequential on the Local Government Act 1972 in relation to development plans made under the Town and Country Planning Act 1971 (as amended). This Order is now redundant.

The Town and Country Planning (Telecommunication Networks) (Railway Operational Land) Special Development Order 1982 granted planning permission, for a period of 25 years and subject to conditions, for the carrying out of development for the purpose of installing and maintaining telecommunication networks on operational land of the British Railways Board. The Order is now redundant.

The Urban Development Corporations (Appropriate Ministers) Order 1988 provided that for the purposes of Part 16 of the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980 the Secretary of State for Energy was the appropriate Minister for the British Coal Corporation and the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry was the appropriate Minister for British Shipbuilders and the British Steel Corporation. This Order is now redundant.

The Coal Industry Act 1994 (Consequential Modifications of Subordinate Legislation) Order 1994 made modifications to subordinate legislation in consequence of the enactment of the Coal Industry Act 1994. One of those modifications was to the Urban Development Corporations (Appropriate Ministers) Order 1988 (mentioned above). Insofar as the 1994 Order refers to the 1988 Order it is revoked.

The London Docklands Development Corporation (Planning Functions) Order 1997 revoked the London Docklands Development Corporation (Planning Functions) Order 1990, so that the development corporation ceased to be the local planning authority. It also revoked the Town and Country Planning (London Docklands Urban Development Area) Special Development Order 1981. The council of the London borough of Newham became the local planning authority for the urban development area. The Order also made transitional provision in relation to the transfer of planning functions and liability for compensation (articles 3, 4 and 5) and amended the transitional provisions in the alteration of boundaries orders which de-designated former parts of the urban development area (article 6 and the Schedule). This Order is now redundant.

The Urban Development Corporations in England (Planning Functions) Order 1998 revoked planning functions orders and special development orders for certain urban development corporations. It also made transitional provisions in relation to the transfer of functions from the corporations to local authorities. This Order is now redundant.

The Town and Country Planning (London Borough of Camden) Special Development Order 2004 made provision for publicity of certain planning applications within that borough. The Town and Country Planning (London Borough of Camden) Special Development (Amendment) Order 2004 amended that Order. The Town and Country Planning (London Borough of Camden) Special Development Order 2004 was revoked in 2010. The Amendment Order is therefore redundant.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
