(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Town and Country Planning General Development Order 1988.
The main change is the introduction into Schedule 2 to the 1988 Order of permitted development rights relating to building operations consisting of the demolition of a building. The Town and Country Planning (Demolition — Description of Buildings) Direction 1992 specifies descriptions of buildings the demolition of which does not involve development.
Conditions are attached where—
(a)demolition is urgently necessary in the interests of safety and health, and
(b)demolition is not on land which is the subject of a planning permission for redevelopment, or is not required or permitted by or under any other enactment, or by virtue of a planning obligation.
In the case of demolition falling within (b) there is a requirement for the developer to apply for a determination as to whether the prior approval of the local planning authority is required to the method of the proposed development and any proposed restoration of the site (article 4).
