The Town and Country Planning General (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2015

These Regulations amend, in relation to England, regulation 4A of the Town and Country Planning General Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/1492). They narrow the requirement for an interested planning authority to refer to the Secretary of State for determination any applications for planning permission which they make which relate solely to the demolition of an unlisted building in a conservation area. Under regulation 2, reference to the Secretary of State for determination is required only where Historic England is notified of the application and objects to it, and the authority do not propose to refuse the application.
