Part 13: General Schedule 7: Plan making Section 15IB: Joint local plan agreement or direction: withdrawal or modification Background
Section 15IB deals with a situation in which a local planning authority withdraws from a joint local plan agreement, or the Secretary of State withdraws a joint local plan direction or it ceases to have effect for one or more parties. In such circumstances, the examination of a joint local plan is suspended. These provisions broadly mirror the former arrangements which were provided for in the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
