(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends articles 22 and 23 of the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) Order 1995 ("the 1995 Order").
Article 22 of the 1995 Order relates to the written notice to be given by the local planning authority when a decision or determination relating to a planning application is made. A notice must state the full reasons for a refusal or conditional grant. This Order amends that article by requiring the local planning authority, in addition, to specify details of all policies and proposals in the development plan relevant to the decision (article 3).
Article 23 of the 1995 Order relates to the procedure for commencing an appeal. This Order amends that article by giving the Secretary of State an express discretion to refuse to accept a notice of appeal if the information required is not provided within the requisite time limit (article 4).
