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:

  1. where the provision (Part, Chapter or section) has never come into force or;
  2. 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.

(b)of the requirements of paragraph (3) below;

(c)that the planning authority is a body required under regulation 23 to provide the appellant with any relevant information in their possession; and

(2) Notice need not be given under paragraph (1) where the appellant has submitted an environmental statement to the Secretary of State for the purposes of an appeal under section 47 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 which–

(a)relates to the development to which the appeal under section 130 of that Act relates; and

(b)is to be determined at the same time as that appeal;

and that statement and the representations (if any) made in relation to any part of it shall be treated as the environmental information for the purposes of regulation 6.

(3) The requirements of this paragraph are that the appellant shall, within the period specified in the notice or such longer period as the Secretary of State may by notice in writing to the appellant allow, submit to the Secretary of State four copies of an environmental statement relating to the unauthorised development in question and enough additional copies of the environmental statement or parts thereof to enable him to send one to each of the other authorities, bodies or persons mentioned in Schedule 4.
