Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Order 1992. It adds a provision to the permitted development right for a change of use from sale or display of motor vehicles to a shop (Class 10(c) of Part 3 of Schedule 1), restricting its application to buildings whose floor space does not exceed 235 square metres (article 3(c)). It extends the category of sewerage works covered by the permitted development rights in Class 43A of Part 13 of Schedule 1 (article 8). It also makes various minor consequential changes necessary to take account of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) (Scotland) Order 1997 which comes into force on the same date as this Order.
