Phase I and II sites S

2 (1) This paragraph has effect for the purposes of determining which mineral sites are Phase I sites, which are Phase II sites, and which are neither Phase I nor Phase II sites. S

(2) A mineral site is neither a Phase I site nor a Phase II site where—

(a) all the relevant planning permissions which relate to the site have been granted after 21st February 1982, or

(b) some only of the relevant planning permissions which relate to the site have been granted after 21st February 1982, and the parts of the site to which those permissions relate constitute the greater part of that site.

(3) With the exception of those mineral sites which, by virtue of sub-paragraph (2), are neither Phase I nor Phase II sites, every mineral site is either a Phase I site or a Phase II site.

(4) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), where any part of a mineral site is situated within—

(a) a site in respect of which a notification under section 28 of the M8 Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (sites of special scientific interest) is in force,

(b) an area designated as a National Scenic Area under section 262C of the 1972 Act, or

(c) an area designated as a Natural Heritage Area under section 6 of the M9 Natural Heritage (Scotland) Act 1991,

that site is a Phase I site.

(5) Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (4), where—

(a) all the relevant planning permissions which relate to a mineral site, and which were not granted after 21st February 1982, were granted after 7th December 1969, or

(b) the parts of a mineral site to which relate such of the relevant planning permissions relating to the site as were granted after 7th December 1969 but before 22nd February 1982 constitute a greater part of the site than is constituted by those parts of the site to which no such relevant planning permission relates but to which a relevant planning permission granted on or before 7th December 1969 does relate,

the mineral site is a Phase II site.

(6) Every other mineral site, that is to say any mineral site other than one—

(a) which is, by virtue of sub-paragraph (2), neither a Phase I nor a Phase II site,

(b) which is a Phase I site by virtue of sub-paragraph (4), or

(c) which is a Phase II site by virtue of sub-paragraph (5),

is a Phase I site.

(7) In ascertaining, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) or (5), whether any parts of a mineral site constitute the greater part of that site, or whether a part of a mineral site is greater than any other part, that mineral site shall be treated as not including any part of the site—

(a) to which an old mining permission relates, or

(b) which is a part where minerals development has been (but is no longer being) carried out and which has, in the opinion of the planning authority, been satisfactorily restored;

but no part of a site shall be treated, by virtue of paragraph (b), as being not included in the site unless the planning authority are satisfied that any aftercare conditions which relate to that part have, so far as relating to that part, been complied with.

  (a)

  in a case where it appears to the planning authority to be expedient to treat as a single site the aggregate of the land to which any two or more mineral permissions relate, the aggregate of the land to which those permissions relate; and

  (b)

  in any other case, the land to which a mineral permission relates;

• “old mining permission” has the meaning given by paragraph 10(1) of Schedule 8; and

• “owner”, in relation to any land, has the meaning given by paragraph 22(1) of Schedule 8.

(a) an old mining permission, or

(b) a mineral permission,

is a reference to the mining site, or some part of it, being the land to which the permission relates.

(a) to the use of electronic communication for all purposes relating to the application which are capable of being given effect to using such communications; and

(b) that the applicant’s address for the purpose of such communications is the address incorporated into, or otherwise logically associated with, the application (or such other address as the applicant may notify in writing to the planning authority),

unless the applicant gives notice in writing to the planning authority in accordance with sub-paragraphs (6) and (7).

(6) An applicant may give notice that the applicant no longer agrees to the use of electronic communications for the purposes mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) of sub paragraph (5).

SCHEDULE 17 S Enforcement as respects war-time breaches by the crown of planning control

Preliminary S

1 S In this Schedule—

• “authority” means an authority responsible for enforcing planning control,

• “compliance determination application” means an application under section 251(3), and

• “compliance determination” means a determination given on such an application.

Making of compliance determination applications S

2 (1) A compliance determination application may be made with respect to any land— S

(a) by the owner or occupier of the land, or

(b) by any person who proves that he has or intends to acquire an interest in the land which will be affected by a compliance determination or that he has borne any of the cost of carrying out works on the land during the war period.

(2) In the case of land owned or occupied by or on behalf of the Crown, or leased to, or to a person acting on behalf of, the Crown, or land with respect to which it is proved that there is held, or intended to be acquired, by or on behalf of the Crown an interest in the land which will be affected as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) or that any of the cost there mentioned has been borne by the Crown, a compliance determination application may be made by any person acting on behalf of the Crown.

3 S A compliance determination application shall be accompanied by such plans and other information as are necessary to enable the application to be determined.

4 (1) The authority to whom a compliance determination application is made shall within 14 days from the receipt of the application publish notice of it in one or more local newspapers circulating in the area in which the land is situated and serve notice of it on any person appearing to the authority to be specially affected by the application. S

(2) The authority shall take into consideration any representations made to them in connection with the application within 14 days from the publication of the notice.

Determination of applications S

5 (1) Where a compliance determination application is made to an authority the authority shall determine whether the works or use in question fail to comply with any planning control which the authority are responsible for enforcing and, if so, shall specify the control in question. S

(2) Where the authority determine that works or a use fail so to comply they shall further determine whether having regard to all relevant circumstances the works or use shall, notwithstanding the failure, be deemed so to comply, either unconditionally or subject to such conditions as to the time for which the works or use may be continued, the carrying out of alterations, or other matters, as the authority think expedient.

Appeals against compliance determinations or failure to make such determinations S

6 (1) Where the applicant is aggrieved by a compliance determination, or where a person by whom representations have been made as mentioned in paragraph 4 is aggrieved by such a determination, he may appeal to the Secretary of State. S

(2) The applicant may also appeal if he is aggrieved by the failure of the authority to determine the application within 2 months from the last day on which representations under paragraph 4 may be made and has served notice on the authority that he appeals to the Secretary of State.

(3) An appeal under this paragraph must be made within the period of 28 days after the applicant has notice of the determination or, in the case of an appeal under sub-paragraph (2), after the applicant has served notice on the authority of the appeal, or within such extended period as the Secretary of State may allow.

7 (1) On such an appeal the Secretary of State may give, in substitution for the determination, if any, given by the authority, such determination as appears to him to be proper having regard to all relevant circumstances, or, if he is satisfied that the applicant was not a person entitled to make the application, may decide that the application is not to be entertained. S

(2) At any stage of the proceedings on such an appeal to him the Secretary of State may, and shall if so directed by the Court of Session, state in the form of a special case for the opinion of the Court of Session any question of law arising in connection with the appeal.

8 S Subject to paragraph 9 and to any determination or decision of the Secretary of State on an appeal under paragraph 7, any compliance determination shall be final and any such failure to give a determination as mentioned in paragraph 6(2) shall be taken on the service of the notice there mentioned as a final refusal by the authority to entertain the application, and any determination or decision of the Secretary of State on an appeal under paragraph 7 shall be final.

Fresh applications where alteration in circumstances S

9 S Where a compliance determination has been given that works on land or a use of land shall not be deemed to comply with planning control or shall be deemed to comply with it subject to conditions, then if a person entitled to make a compliance determination application with respect to the land satisfies the authority or on appeal the Secretary of State that there has been a material change of circumstances since the previous application was determined, he may make a subsequent application and on such an application the authority or on appeal the Secretary of State may substitute for the compliance determination such determination as appears proper having regard to all relevant circumstances.

References of application to Secretary of State S

10 (1) If it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient, having regard to considerations affecting the public interest (whether generally or in the locality concerned), that any compliance determination application to an authority, or any class or description of such applications, should instead of being determined by the authority be referred to him for decision, he may give directions to the authority requiring that application, or applications of that class or description, to be so referred. S

(2) This Schedule shall apply to any such reference as if it were an appeal under paragraph 6(2) following the failure of the authority to determine the application.

Information S

11 S The Secretary of State may give directions to any authority requiring them to furnish him with such information with respect to compliance determination applications received by them as he considers necessary or expedient in connection with the exercise of his functions under this Schedule.

Opportunity for hearing S

12 (1) On a compliance determination application the applicant may require the authority to give him an opportunity before the application is determined of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed by the authority for the purpose. S

(2) In the case of—

(a) a compliance determination application referred to the Secretary of State for decision, or

(b) an appeal under this Schedule,

the applicant or the authority may require the Secretary of State to give him or them an opportunity before the application or appeal is determined of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed by the Secretary of State for the purpose.

Notice of proposed enforcement S

13 (1) This paragraph applies where before the relevant date any person proposes to take steps for enforcing a planning control in the case of such works or such a use as is mentioned in section 251(1). S

(2) Subject to sub-paragraph (4), unless a compliance determination application has been made in relation to the land which has not been finally determined, that person shall serve on every owner and occupier of the land not less than 28 days’ notice of the proposal, and if within that period any person makes such an application in relation to the land and within 7 days of making it serves on the person proposing to take steps as aforesaid notice that the application has been made, no steps for enforcing the control shall be taken until the final determination of the application.

(3) If such an application has been made which has not been finally determined, no such steps shall be taken until the final determination of it.

(4) No notice shall be required under sub-paragraph (2) if steps for enforcing a planning control in the case of any works on land are begun within 28 days of the final determination of a compliance determination application in relation to the land.

(5) For the purpose of this paragraph a compliance determination application shall be treated as having been finally determined notwithstanding that a subsequent application may be made under paragraph 9.

Power of entry S

14 (1) At any time before the relevant date any officer of an authority shall, on producing, if so required, some duly authenticated document showing his authority to act for the purposes of this paragraph, have a right, subject to the provisions of this paragraph, to enter any premises at all reasonable hours— S

(a) for the purpose of ascertaining whether there are on the premises any works carried out during the war period which do not comply with planning control, or whether a use of the premises continues which was begun during that period and does not comply with it;

(b) where a compliance determination application has been made to the authority, for the purpose of obtaining any information required by the authority for the exercise of their functions under section 251 and this Schedule in relation to the application.

(2) Admission to any premises which are occupied shall not be demanded as of right unless 24 hours’ notice of the intended entry has been served on the occupier.

(3) Any person who wilfully obstructs any officer of an authority acting in the exercise of his powers under this section shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 1 on the standard scale.

(4) If any person who in compliance with this paragraph is admitted into a factory, workshop or workplace discloses to any person any information obtained by him in it with regard to any manufacturing process or trade secret, he shall, unless such disclosure was made in the performance of his duty, be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 months.

Service of notices S

15 (1) Any notice or other document required or authorised to be served under this Schedule may be served on any person either by delivering it to him, or by leaving it at his proper address, or by post. S

(2) Any such document required or authorised to be served upon an incorporated company or body shall be duly served if it is served upon the secretary or clerk of the company or body.
