Clause 56, page 56, line 11, at end insert—
("(6) If it appears to the local planning authority to be urgent that a building preservation notice should come into force, they may instead of serving the notice on the owner, lessee and occupier of the building to which it relates, affix the notice conspicuously to some object on the building; and this shall be treated for all the purposes of this section and of Schedule 10 to this Act as service of the said notice, in relation to which subsection (1)(b) of this section shall be taken to include a reference to this subsection.").
§ LORD POLWARTHMy Lords, I beg to move that the House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 1. I suggest that it would be convenient to your Lordships if we were to consider with it Amendment No. 3, which is consequential. The need for these Amendments arises from a late change made in the Town and Country Planning (Amendment) Bill which was considered, so far as Commons Amendments were concerned, by your Lordships on Monday of this week. The essentials of the Amendment Bill which apply to Scotland are already incorporated in Schedule 21 of 1508 this Consolidation Bill, but following the Amendment approved by both Houses in relation to the Amendment Bill it is necessary to adjust this Consolidation Bill, otherwise the consolidation measure would not fully reflect Scottish planning law. The Amendment with which we are concerned is one which your Lordships will recollect from the Town and Country Planning (Amendment) Bill, to the effect that:
in cases of urgency a building preservation notice can be affixed to the building with the same effect as if it had been served upon the owner, lessee or occupier.My Lords, I beg to move.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Lord Polwarth.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
