Schedule 4, Paragraph 1: Correction of errors
204.This paragraph gives the Commission and the Secretary of State the power to correct an error or omission in a decision document which it or she has issued. A correction may be made under this paragraph only if two conditions are satisfied. The first condition is that before the end of the relevant period the appropriate authority has been asked to make the correction or has sent a written statement to the applicant for the order proposing to make the correction. The ‘relevant period’ is defined as the period during which a challenge can be made to a decision to grant or refuse the application for an order granting development consent. The second condition is that the appropriate authority has notified each relevant local planning authority. Errors which may be corrected under this paragraph do not include errors in the statement of reasons for the decision.
