EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. Section 43A(8)(c) enables an applicant to require the planning authority to review the case if the person appointed to determine the application has not done so within the period prescribed by regulations made under that section. The amendment made by article 2 will allow the applicant and the appointed person to extend that period by agreement.
