LOCAL GOVERNMENT

TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING, ENGLAND AND WALES

Schedule 1 to this Order makes amendments consequential to the provisions of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Localism Act 2011. Section 1 of the Localism Act 2011 provides local authorities in England with a general power of competence (“the general power”). This will replace the power to promote well-being (section 2 of the Local Government Act 2000) (“the well-being power”) for those authorities. Section 2 of the Local Government Act 2000 is amended by Schedule 1 to the Localism Act 2011 so as to apply only to Welsh local authorities.
