The Town and Country Planning (Simplified Planning Zones) (Amendment) Regulations 1994
These Regulations amend the Town and Country Planning (Simplified Planning Zones) Regulations 1992. The principal amendment is the insertion of a new sub-paragraph in regulation 3(1) which provides that where a local planning authority propose to make or alter a simplified planning zone scheme, they shall consult the Urban Regeneration Agency in respect of any designated area which is likely to be affected by the scheme. The Urban Regeneration Agency has been established for the purpose of exercising the functions conferred on it by Part III of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (development of urban and other areas). A “designated area” is an area designated by the Secretary of State under section 170 of the 1993 Act.
