Mr. Stevens

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment which provisions of the Planning and Compensation Bill are to be treated as having effect from the date of the Bill's publication.

Mr. Michael Spicer

Clauses 47 and 49 (home loss payments) are to have effect in relation to displacements occurring on or after today, 16 November 1990. However, no sum will be payable by virtue of these clauses until one month after they come into force (which under clause 55 will be on a date to be appointed by order after the Bill receives Royal Assent).

Clauses 25(2) and 42(2) provide for the repeal of section 114 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and section 158 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1972 (compensation for planning decisions restricting development other than new development). Clauses 25(5) and 42(5) provide that these repeals shall have effect, or be treated as having effect, where the application for planning permission was made on or after today, 16 November 1990.

Clauses 25(3) and 42(3) provide for the repeal of section 27 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and section 160 the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1972 (compensation for refusal of consent to alteration, etc. of listed building). Under clauses 25(6) and 42(5) these repeals shall have effect, or be treated as having effect where the application for listed building consent was made on or after today, 16 November 1990.

Schedule 5 provides, inter alia, for consequential amendments of section 15 of the Land Compensation Act 1961, section 5 of the Land Compensation Act 1973 and section 107(4) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to have effect as specified from today.
