to give to the Secretary of State and to such other persons as may be prescribed by or under the order, such information as may be so prescribed with respect to such applications made to the authority, including information as to the manner in which any application has been dealt with.

A certificate under either of those sections may be issued—

for the whole or part of the land specified in the application; and

where the application specifies two or more uses, operations or other matters, for all of them or some one or more of them;

and shall be in such form as may be prescribed by a development order.

A certificate under section 191 or 192 shall not affect any matter constituting a failure to comply with any condition or limitation subject to which planning permission has been granted unless that matter is described in the certificate.

In section 69 references to applications for planning permission shall include references to applications for certificates under section 191 or 192.

A local planning authority may revoke a certificate under either of those sections if, on the application for the certificate—
