Chapter 2: Development plans etc Development plans and national policy Section 92: Development plans: content Effect
Subsection (1) gives effect to the amendments made by subsections (2) to (4) to section 38 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.
	Subsections (2) and (3) insert a new subsection (2A) into section 38 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 which says what elements collectively constitute the development plan for any given area of land (whether that land is wholly within or cuts across local planning authority boundaries), replacing former section 38(2) and (3). It defines the development plan in terms of the commonly-used terms for its constituent documents, such as ‘local plan’.
	Subsection (4) substitutes a new subsection (9A) for former section 38(9) which cross-refers to the new provisions where the definitions of those elements are to be found.
