(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Section 299 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 enables the appropriate authority (for example a Government Department or the Crown Estates Commissioners) or a person authorised by that authority to apply for planning permission or for a certificate of lawfulness of proposed use or development in respect of Crown land. This enables a permission or certificate to be obtained in anticipation of the disposal of such land.
These Regulations modify provisions of the 1990 Act and the Town and Country Planning General Development Order 1988 in relation to applications made by virtueof section 299 (regulation 2 and the Schedule). They also require the appropriate authority to give the local planning authority notice of any disposal of Crown land (or an interest in it) following a successful application in relation to the land under section 299 (regulation 3).
These Regulations supersede the Town and Country Planning (Crown Land Applications) Regulations 1984, which are revoked (regulation 4).
