On an application under subsection (1) of this section the court may grant such interdict as it thinks appropriate for the purpose of restraining or preventing the breach.
In this section “
Every planning authority shall from time to time determine which parts of their district are areas of special architectural or historic interest the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance, and shall designate such areas as conservation areas.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The Secretary of State may from time to time, after consultation with a planning authority, determine that any part of the authority’s district which is not for the time being designated as a conservation area is an area of special architectural or historic interest the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance; and, if he so determines, he may designate that part as a conservation area.
Before making a determination under this section, a planning authority shall consult the planning authority of each district of which any part is included in the area to which the proposed determination relates.
A planning authority shall give notice to the Secretary of State of the designation of any part of their district as a conservation area under subsection (1) or (2) above, and of any variation or cancellation of any such designation, and the Secretary of State shall give notice to a planning authority of the designation of any part of their district as a conservation area under subsection (4) above, and of any variation or cancellation of any such designation; and a notice under this subsection shall contain sufficient particulars to identify the area affected.
Notice of any such designation, variation or cancellation as is mentioned in subsection (6) above, with particulars of its effect, shall be published in the Edinburgh Gazette and in at least one newspaper circulating in the district of the planning authority, by that authority or, as the case may be, the Secretary of State.
Where any area is for the time being designated as a conservation area, special attention shall be paid to the desirability of preserving or enhancing its character or appearance in the exercise, with respect to any buildings or other land in that area, of any powers under this Act, Part I of the
Every planning authority shall compile and keep available for public inspection free of charge at reasonable hours and at a convenient place a list containing such particulars as the Secretary of State may determine of any area in their district which has been designated as a conservation area.

A direction under subsection (4) above relating to a description of buildings may be given either to an individual planning authority or to planning authorities generally.
The Secretary of State may vary or revoke a direction under subsection (4) above by a further direction under that subsection.
The appropriate authority for the purposes of this section is—

section 161,
section 179,
section 253(1)(b)

shall have effect in relation to buildings to which this section applies as they have effect in relation to listed buildings; but regulations may provide that they shall have effect in relation to buildings to which this section applies subject to such exceptions and modifications as may be prescribed.
Any such regulations may make different provision—
in relation to applications made by planning authorities, and
in relation to other applications.
Any proceedings on or arising out of an application for listed building consent made while this section applies to a building shall lapse when it ceases to apply to it, and any listed building consent granted with respect to the building shall also lapse; but the fact that this section has ceased to apply to a building shall not affect the liability of any person to be prosecuted and punished for an offence under section 53 or 94 of this Act committed by him with respect to the building while this section applied to it.]
It shall be the duty of a planning authority to formulate and publish,

In this section
The Secretary of State has the same power to make orders under section 267(7) above in relation to proceedings to which this section applies which do not give rise to a local inquiry as he has in relation to a local inquiry.
This section applies to proceedings under this Act where the Secretary of State is required before reaching a decision, to afford any person an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed by him.
The Secretary of State may by regulations prescribe the procedure to be followed in connection with proceedings under this Act where he is required, before reaching a decision, to afford any person an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed by him and which are to be disposed of without an inquiry or hearing to which rules under section 11 of the Tribunals and Inquiries Act
The regulations may in particular make provision as to the procedure to be followed—
where steps have been taken with a view to the holding of such an inquiry or hearing which does not take place, or
where steps have been taken with a view to the determination of any matter by a person appointed by the Secretary of State and the proceedings are the subject of a direction that the matter shall instead be determined by the Secretary of State, or
where steps have been taken in pursuance of such a direction and a further direction is made revoking that direction,
and may provide that such steps shall be treated as compliance, in whole or in part, with the requirements of the regulations.
The regulations may also—
provide for a time limit within which any party to the proceedings must lodge written submissions and any supporting documents;
prescribe the time limit (which may be different for different classes of proceedings) or enable the Secretary of State to give directions setting the time limit in a particular case or class of case;
empower the Secretary of State to proceed to a decision taking into account only such written submissions and supporting documents as were lodged within the time limit; and
empower the Secretary of State, after giving the parties written notice of his intention to do so, to proceed to a decision notwithstanding that no written submissions were lodged within the time limit, if it appears to him that he has sufficient material before him to enable him to reach a decision on the merits of the case.
Where the Ministers concerned so direct—
any inquiry in relation to an order under this Act which in certain events becomes subject to special parliamentary procedure, and
any hearing in connection with—
an appeal against the refusal, or the grant, subject to conditions, of an application by statutory undertakers for planning permission to develop operational land, or

Nothing in subsections (2) to (9) of section 267 of this Act shall apply to any inquiry to which subsection (1)(a) above applies.
The provisions of the said Act of 1945 in relation to the publication of notices in the Edinburgh Gazette and in a newspaper shall, notwithstanding anything contained in that Act, not apply to any order under this Act which is subject to special parliamentary procedure.

by delivering it to the person on whom it is to be served or to whom it is to be given; or
by leaving it at the usual or last known place of abode of that person, or, in a case where an address for service has been given by that person, at that address; or
by sending it in a prepaid registered letter, or by the recorded delivery service, addressed to that person at his usual or last known place of abode, or, in a case where an address for service has been given by that person, at that address; or

in the case of an incorporated company or body, by delivering it to the secretary or clerk of the company or body at their registered or principal office, or sending it in a prepaid registered letter, or by the recorded delivery service, addressed to the secretary or clerk of the company or body at that office.
Where the notice or document is required or authorised to be served on any person as having an interest in premises, and the name of that person cannot be ascertained after reasonable inquiry, or where the notice or document is required or authorised to be served on any person as an occupier of premises, the notice or document shall be taken to be duly served if—
being addressed to him either by name or by the description of “the owner”, “the lessee” or “the occupier”, as the case may be, of the premises (describing them) it is delivered or sent in the manner specified in subsection (1)(a), (b) or (c) of this section; or
being so addressed, and marked in such manner as may be prescribed by regulations under this Act for securing that it shall be plainly identifiable as a communication of importance, it is sent to the premises in a prepaid registered letter or by the recorded delivery service and is not returned to the authority sending it, or is delivered to some person on those premises, or is affixed conspicuously to some object on those premises.
Where the notice or other document is required to be served on or given to all persons having interests in, or being occupiers of, premises comprised in any land, and it appears to the authority required or authorised to serve or give the notice or other document that any part of that land is unoccupied, the notice or document shall be taken to be duly served on all persons having interests in, and on any occupiers of, premises comprised in that part of the land (other than a person who has given to that authority an address for the service of the notice or document on him) if it is addressed to “the owners and any lessees and occupiers” of that part of the land (describing it) and is affixed conspicuously to some object on the land.
For the purpose of enabling any order to be made or any notice or other document to be served by them under the provisions of this Act, the Secretary of State or a local authority may in writing require the occupier of any land and any person who, either directly or indirectly, receives rent in respect of any land to supply in writing within a specified period, which shall not be less than twenty-one days from the service of the requirement on him, any of the following information—

the time when that use began;,
the name and address of any person known to the person on whom the notice is served as having used the premises for those purposes;
the time when any activities being carried out on the premises began.
Any person who, having been required in pursuance of this section to give any information, fails to give that information shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding
Any person who, having been so required to give any information, knowingly makes any misstatement in respect thereof shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £400 or on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for a term not execeeding two years or to a fine, or both.
It shall be a defence in any proceedings under subsection (2) of this section that the accused did not know, and had no reasonable cause to know the information required of him.
Where an offence under this Act (other than section 55) which has been committed by a body corporate is proved to have been committed with the consent or connivance of, or to be attributable to any neglect on the part of, a director, manager, secretary or other similar officer of the body corporate, or any person who was purporting to act in any such capacity, he, as well as the body corporate, shall be guilty of that offence and be liable to be proceeded against accordingly.
In subsection (1) of this section the expression “
Regulations made under this Act may provide for the combination in a single document, made in such form and transmitted to such authority as may be prescribed by the regulations, of—
an application for planning permission in respect of any development; and
an application required, under any enactment specified in the regulations, to be made to a local authority in respect of that development.
Before making any regulations under this section, the Secretary of State shall consult with such local authorities or associations of local authorities as appear to him to be concerned.
Different provision may be made by any such regulations in relation to areas in which different enactments are in force.
An application required to be made to a local authority under an enactment specified in any such regulations shall, if made in accordance with the provisions of the regulations, be valid notwithstanding anything in that enactment prescribing, or enabling any authority to prescribe, the form in which, or the manner in which, such an application is to be made.
