Part 6: Planning in England Planning permission etc Section 152: Approval condition where development order grants permission for building
This section amends an existing power in section 60 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 under which planning permission may be granted by a development order subject to conditions or limitations.  Planning permissions granted by development order are known as "permitted development rights".
	Subsection (2A) of section 60 already makes provision for development orders to require the approval of the local planning authority or the Secretary of State for a change of use, or in respect of matters relating to that new use.  For example, in relation to a change of use which might generate extra traffic and be noisier than the existing use, the local planning authority may be given the opportunity to approve a transport strategy prepared by the developer, and a plan to address noise impacts.
	New subsection (1A) of section 60 makes similar provision for permitted development rights in respect of building operations (as listed under section 55(1A) under the 1990 Act). It enables development orders to require the approval of the local planning authority or the Secretary of State for any matters related to the building operations or the use of the land following those building operations.  This enables certain aspects of the permitted development right to be delegated to the local planning authority, so that local conditions and sensitivities can be taken into account.
