§ Mr. FoxI beg to move Government amendment No. 316, in page 95, line 44, after 'area', insert
'in place of any authority which would otherwise be the local planning authority'.
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerWith this it will be convenient to take the following amendments:
§ Government amendment No. 317.
1345§ Amendment No. 198, in page 95, line 46 at end insert—
- (1A) Where an order is made under this section the Secretary of State shall require, within that order, that the Urban Development Corporations consult such other local planning authorities for the area on such particular clauses of applications as are specified, before determining any such application.'.
§ Government amendments Nos. 384, 385, 318, 319 and 386.
§ Mr. FoxThis is a long list of amendments. Amendment No. 316 is a drafting amendment, and part of the amendments to clause 127 designed to extend the planning function which can be conferred on urban development corporations by order. It merely repeats a provision in subsection (3) which is to be omitted.
The second planning amendment, No. 317, achieves a number of things. It is, first, a drafting amendment that repeats the substance of subsection (4) of the clause in relation to subsection (1) only. Subsection (4) as such is to be omitted because it is inappropriate to apply to the new subsection. The third planning amendment, No. 384, is a repeat of the first planning amendment, No. 317, to make it applicable to Scotland. The fourth planning amendment is similarly a repeat of the second planning amendmeent—amendment No. 317—to make it applicable to Scotland. The fifth planning amendment, No. 318, deletes subsections (3) and (4). These are replaced by the first amendment, amendment No. 316 and part of the second, amendment No. 317, both planning amendments.
§ Amendment agreed to.
