EXPLANATORY NOTE

Section 76 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, provides that conditions imposed in planning permissions granted under the Town and Country Planning Acts of 1932 and 1943 shall be enforceable as if they had been imposed under the 1947 Act. These Regulations apply the provisions of the Section to conditions imposed in permissions granted under Section 1 or Section 2 of the Restriction of Ribbon Development Act, 1935, which Sections are repealed by the 1947 Act. Regulation 5 provides that temporary development which, by virtue of the Restriction of Ribbon Development (Temporary Development) Act, 1943, was exempted, during the war period as defined by that Act, from enforcement action under the 1935 Act, shall be treated as if it were the subject of a planning permission granted for a limited period.

These Regulations are additional to those concerning the enforcement of the Restriction of Ribbon Development Acts made under subsection (8) of Section 75 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, which require approval by resolution of each House of Parliament.
