The Town and Country Planning (Crown Land Applications) Regulations 1992
Section 299 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 enables the appropriate authority (for example a Government Department or the Crown Estates Commissioners) or a person authorised by that authority to apply for planning permission or for a certificate of lawfulness of proposed use or development in respect of Crown land. This enables a permission or certificate to be obtained in anticipation of the disposal of such land.
