PLANNING (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1972 - SECT 19



19.(1) An application for planning permission may relate to buildings or works
constructed or carried out, or a use of land instituted, before the date of
the application, whether

(a)the buildings or works were constructed or carried out or the use
instituted without planning permission or in accordance with planning
permission granted for a limited period; or

(b)the application is for permission to retain the buildings or works or to
continue the use of land without complying with some condition subject to
which a previous planning permission was granted.

(2) Any power to grant planning permission to develop land under this Order
shall include power to grant planning permission for the retention on land of
buildings or works constructed or carried out, or for the continuance of a use
of land instituted, as mentioned in paragraph (1); and references in this
Order to planning permission to develop land or carry out any development of
land and to applications for such permission, shall be construed accordingly.

(3) Any planning permission granted under paragraph (2) may be granted so as
to take effect from the date on which the buildings or works were constructed
or carried out, or the use was instituted, or (in the case of buildings or
works constructed or a use instituted in accordance with planning permission
granted for a limited period) so as to take effect from the end of that
period, as the case may be.
