Town and Country Planning (Enforcement of Control) (No 2) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2011 (SSI 2011/383)

Under agenda item 2, we will consider six negative instruments. The instruments have been laid before the Parliament as a group to give effect to various amendments that require to be made to existing planning legislation, as a result of the coming into force of provisions of the Historic Environment (Amendment) (Scotland) Act 2011 and the Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006. The instruments will make various changes in relation to planning applications and the appeals process, as they relate to listed buildings consents and conservation area consents.

I do not propose to go through the instruments individually, as they have been laid before Parliament as a group. The Subordinate Legislation Committee has made no comment on any of the instruments. Do members have any questions or comments on the instruments?

Members: No.

Thank you. No motion to annul any of the instruments has been lodged. If no member objects, I will therefore ask a single question on all the instruments. Does the committee agree that it has no recommendations to make on the following Scottish statutory instruments: the Town and Country Planning (Appeals) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2011; the Town and Country Planning (Inquiries Procedure) (Scotland) Amendment Rules 2011; the Town and Country Planning (Appeals) (Written Submissions Procedure) (Scotland) Revocation Regulations 2011; the Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006 (Listed Buildings) (Saving Provisions) Order 2011; the Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006 (Commencement No 12) Order 2011; and the Town and Country Planning (Enforcement of Control) (No 2) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2011?

Members indicated agreement.

Thank you.
