More developments than before will be able
to go-ahead without going through parts of the planning process a second time
following planning law changes due to come into force shortly.
The Town and Country Planning (Development
Management Procedure) Order 2010 (DMPO) has been amended to extend the time
developments can take advantage of exemptions in the DMPO.
Developments that have received planning
permission that are still within their time limit but where work has not yet
begun will not have to re-submit design and access statements, conduct full
consultations, or provide full plans and drawings when applying for a
replacement planning permission.
The amended Order applies the exemptions to
those seeking a new planning permission to replace an existing planning
permission where the original was granted on or before 1 October 2010.
It applies only to developments where
building has not begun and the time limit for that work to begin has not
passed. The Order previously only applied the exemptions to permissions granted
before October 2009.
The amended Order also changes the rules
governing decision notices given by local authorities to applicants for
planning permission.
The amendments to the Order come into force
on 1 October 2012, with the provisions on decision notices coming into force on
1 December 2012.
