Commentary on provisions of the Act Part 1: Conditions Conditions on bringing scheduled works and depots into use
Paragraph 9 provides that where the relevant planning authority (which is the district council in non-unitary areas) is a qualifying authority, scheduled works which are not underground and certain depots cannot be brought into use without the approval of the authority. Under paragraph 9(4), approval must be granted if no further environmental mitigation is required or the authority has approved a mitigation scheme submitted by the nominated undertaker. Paragraph 9(5) sets out the grounds on which approval of such a scheme may be refused or conditions imposed.
	Paragraph 10 requires such a mitigation scheme to be implemented in accordance with any conditions subject to which approval was given.
