(This note is not part of the Order)
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Order amends the Planning (General Development Procedure) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015 by substituting a new schedule 3 to take account of the restructuring of Government Departments as a consequence of the Departments Act 2016 and the Departments (Transfer of Functions) Order (Northern Ireland) 2016. This reflects the consequent revised roles and responsibilities of planning authorities and statutory consultees in the development management process of the planning system.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been prepared. The technical changes made by this Order are simply the result of a change in the functions of Departments in Northern Ireland and will ensure the continuity of consultation arrangements in respect of hazardous substances consents.
The Explanatory Memorandum is available on the government’s website www.legislation.gov.uk
