New Clause standing in the name of a minister of the crown and related

 

to clause 18

 

Variation and replacement of pre-Planning Act 2008 consents

 

Secretary Eric Pickles

 

NC3

 

To move the following Clause:—

 

‘(1)    

After section 237 of the Planning Act 2008 insert—

 

“237A

Variation and replacement of section 33 consents: transitional

 

provision

 

(1)    

This section applies where a section 33 consent (“the original consent”)

 

has been given or made as a result of an application made before Part 4

 

came into force.

 

(2)    

Nothing in section 33 prevents the original section 33 consent, or a

 

section 33 consent that replaces it, from being varied or replaced.

 

(3)    

Subsection (5) applies if the original consent, or a section 33 consent that

 

replaces it, is varied or replaced, and the remaining development is

 

development for which development consent would otherwise be

 

required.

 

(4)    

“The remaining development”—

 

(a)    

in a case where the consent is varied, is the development to which

 

the consent as varied relates, to the extent it has not already been

 

carried out;

 

(b)    

in a case where the consent is replaced, is the development to

 

which the replacement consent relates, to the extent it has not

 

already been carried out.

 

(5)    

Section 31 does not apply to the remaining development (and so

 

development consent is not required for it).

 

(6)    

A section 33 consent replaces an earlier section 33 consent for the

 

purposes of this section if (but only if)—

 

(a)    

it is granted or made on an application for consent for

 

development without complying with conditions subject to

 

which the earlier section 33 consent was granted or made, and

 

(b)    

it is granted subject to, or made on, different conditions, or

 

unconditionally.

 

(7)    

In this section “section 33 consent” means a consent, authorisation, order,

 

notice or scheme mentioned in section 33(1), (2) or (4).”

 

(2)    

This section is deemed to have had effect since Part 4 of the Planning Act 2008

 

came into force.’.
