Chapter 4: Grant and Implementation of Planning Permission 293J Applications under section 293D or 293E: determination by the Secretary of State Effect
Section 293J has the effect of enabling the Secretary of State to direct that an application under section 293D or 293E can be determined by the Secretary of State, instead of a person appointed to determine the application on their behalf, before a decision is made. The Secretary of State may also make a further direction to revoke such directions at any time before a decision is issued. In these instances, the Secretary of State is required to serve a copy of the direction (or further direction) to the person appointed (or previously appointed) under section 293I, the applicant, and the local planning authority where such a direction is issued.
	Subsection (3) introduces Schedule 10 which makes consequential amendments in connection with section 109.
