Chapter 4: Grant and Implementation of Planning Permission Chapter 6: Other Provision Section 123 Duty to grant sufficient planning permission for self-build and custom housebuilding Effect
Subsections (1)(a)(i) and (ii) amend subsection (2) of section 2A of the 2015 Act to specify that only planning permission that is specifically for self-build and custom housebuilding will count towards meeting a relevant authority’s statutory duty. Subsection (1)(a)(iii) is a technical amendment consequential to subsection (1)(c).
	Subsection (1)(b) inserts new subsection 5A into the 2015 Act which introduces a new power to allow the Secretary of State to specify in Regulations types of development permissions that can be counted by a relevant authority to comply with its duty to meet demand as defined under section 2A(2) of the 2015 Act.
	Subsection (1)(c) substitutes an amended definition of "demand" into section 2A(6)(a) of the 2015 Act to add that any demand that has not been met by a relevant authority, within the compliance period, will be rolled over to be counted as demand in the next compliance period.
	Subsection (1)(d) removes section 2A(6)(c) of the 2015 Act which defines a ‘suitable' development permission and is consequential to subsection (1)(a)(i) as ‘suitable’ is now omitted from the 2015 Act.
	Subsection (1)(e) is consequential to subsection (1)(c) to ensure that it achieves its intended effect and will apply to any regulations that may be made in future under section 2A(9)(b) of the 2015 Act.
	Subsection (2) inserts a new subsection (zza) to section 4 of the 2015 Act, and specifies that the negative resolution procedure applies to regulations made under new section 2A(5A).
