Part 6: Planning in England Permission in principle and local registers of land New section 58A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990: Permission in principle: general
Section 150 inserts a new section 58A into Part 3 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to enable permission in principle to be granted for housing-led development of land in England. Section 58A(2) expressly excludes development consisting of the winning and working of minerals from the possibility of a grant of permission in principle.
	Section 150(3) amends section 70 of the 1990 Act to provide that an application for technical details consent must be determined in accordance with permission in principle previously granted. The result of permission in principle together with a grant of technical details consent is a grant of full planning permission.
