313.Section 266(1) of TCPA 1990 provides for the Secretary of State and the appropriate Minister to decide jointly certain planning applications and appeals where the application has been made by a statutory undertaker and the case has been referred to the Secretary of State under Part 3 of TCPA 1990. Section 195 disapplies this provision in England except where the Secretary of State or the appropriate Minister gives a direction for section 266(1) to have effect in relation to the relevant application or appeal.
