Commentary on provisions of the Act Schedule 26: Lorries Grant of applications for permit
Given that the routing of heavy commercial vehicles is intended to be one of the areas of control that planning authorities will have under the planning regime established under the Act, paragraph 5 restricts the right to refuse or condition a permit under a lorry ban order. An applicant aggrieved by a decision of the authority not to grant a permit or to grant it subject to conditions may within 28 days appeal to the Secretary of State who may dismiss or vary the authority’s decision.
