(1)In the foregoing provisions of this Part of this Act “new town” means an area designated as the site of a proposed new town [F1under section 1 of the New Towns Act 1981 by] an order that has become operative.
(2)If an order designating the site of a proposed new town is revoked, section 116 of this Act shall with the necessary modifications apply as if at the time of the revocation of the order an order had come into force [F1under section 41 of the New Towns Act 1981 providing] in relation to the new town for a transfer of the development corporation’s property to the Commission for the New Towns.
(3)Where, by reason of the variation of an order designating the site of a proposed new town, land ceases to be comprised in such a site, the variation shall not affect the operation of section 111 of this Act as respects an application made before the variation took effect or at the next licensing sessions held thereafter, but the land excluded from such a site by the variation shall not otherwise be treated for the purposes of this Part of this Act as comprised in a new town.
