Commentary on provisions of the Act Part 1: Conditions Condition relating to other construction works
Paragraph 5 enables the Secretary of State, after consulting the affected planning authorities, to issue a class approval for these construction arrangements, except in relation to construction camps. Where a class approval is in effect, by virtue of paragraph 5(5) the nominated undertaker does not need to seek specific approval from the planning authority under paragraph 4, although if the circumstances of the case require it the nominated undertaker can still apply for that approval by virtue of paragraph 5(6) and (7).
