EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend, in relation to England, regulation 4A of the Town and Country Planning General Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/1492). They narrow the requirement for an interested planning authority to refer to the Secretary of State for determination any applications for planning permission which they make which relate solely to the demolition of an unlisted building in a conservation area. Under regulation 2, reference to the Secretary of State for determination is required only where Historic England is notified of the application and objects to it, and the authority do not propose to refuse the application.

The Regulations also make a number of supporting procedural amendments. Regulation 2 provides for the authority to publicise the application as it would an application made to the authority. It also:

  • provides for the local planning authority to send notice of the application to Historic England, and the date by which any representations must be made; and

  • prescribes the content of an ‘objection’ which will trigger the referral of the application to the Secretary of State.

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