The Planning (Consequential Provisions) Act 1990 (Appointed Day No. 1 and Transitional Provisions) Order 1991
This Order appoints 2nd January 1992 as the day on which paragraphs 3 to 16 of the Planning (Consequential Provisions) Act 1990 partially cease to have effect, so that on that day section 322 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (c. 8) (orders as to costs of parties where no local inquiry held) and paragraph 6of Schedule 6 to that Act come partially into force. The latter provision gives inspectors the same power to award costs as the Secretary of State has under section 322. The provisions are commenced only for the purposes of awards of costs by the Secretary of State or inspectors in relation to proceedings which give rise to a hearing.
