Schedule 1, Paragraph 27: Part 2: National Policy Statements Section 11: Suspension pending review
74.This section provides that the Secretary of State may suspend the operation of part or all of a national policy statement if she decides that since the relevant part of the statement was issued or reviewed there has been a significant change in circumstances which was not anticipated. Suspension by the Secretary of State is possible only where she thinks that if the change had been anticipated any of the policy included in the relevant part of the statement would have been materially different.
