Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends Part 25A of Schedule 1 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Order 1992. Part 25A grants planning permission in respect of certain development which is necessary for the purposes of housing poultry and other captive birds to protect them from avian influenza. Where Part 25A applies, no specific application for planning permission is needed. Planning permission is granted by Part 25A subject to conditions requiring notification to the planning authority and removal of the development once the need for it has ended or, following changes made by article 2(2), on, or as soon as practicable after, 26th March 2009, whichever is the earlier.
