Part 13: General Schedule 7: Plan making Section 15LF: Meaning of ‘local planning authority’ etc Background
Former section 37 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 - subsections (4), (5), (5ZA), (5ZB), (5A) and (5B) - defined the meaning of a local planning authority for the purposes of Part 2 of that Act.
	Section 15LF broadly maintains the former definition, but simplifies the wording compared with the existing legislation and expands the types of development corporations that may be designated as a local planning authority for the purposes of Part 2 of the Planning and Compulsory Act 2004.
