Planning permission granted by a development order may be granted either unconditionally or subject to such conditions or limitations as may be specified in the order.

Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1), where planning permission is granted by a development order for building operations in England, the order may require the approval of the local planning authority, or the Secretary of State, to be obtained—

for those operations, or

with respect to any matters that relate to those operations, or to the use of the land in question following those operations, and are specified in the order.

Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1), where planning permission is granted by a development order for the erection, extension or alteration of any buildings in Wales, the order may require the approval of the local planning authority to be obtained with respect to the design or external appearance of the buildings.

Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1), where planning permission is granted by a development order for development consisting of a change in the use of land in England, the order may require the approval of the local planning authority, or of the Secretary of State, to be obtained—

for the use of the land for the new use;

with respect to matters that relate to the new use and are specified in the order.

Without prejudice to the generality of subsections (1) and (1A), a development order may include provision for ensuring—

that, before a person in reliance on planning permission granted by the order carries out development of land in England that is a dwelling house or is within the curtilage of a dwelling house—

a written description, and a plan, of the proposed development are given to the local planning authority,

notice of the proposed development, and of the period during which representations about it may be made to the local planning authority, is served by the local planning authority on the owner or occupier of any adjoining premises, and

that period has ended, and

that, where within that period an owner or occupier of any adjoining premises objects to the proposed development, it may be carried out in reliance on the permission only if the local planning authority consider that it would not have an unacceptable impact on the amenity of adjoining premises.

In subsection (2B) "adjoining premises" includes any land adjoining—

the dwelling house concerned, or

the boundary of its curtilage.

Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1), where planning permission is granted by a development order for development of a specified class, the order may enable the Secretary of State or the local planning authority to direct that the permission shall not apply either—

in relation to development in a particular area, or

in relation to any particular development.

Any provision of a development order by which permission is granted for the use of land for any purpose on a limited number of days in a period specified in that provision shall (without prejudice to the generality of references in this Act to limitations) be taken to be a provision granting permission for the use of land for any purpose subject to the limitation that the land shall not be used for any one purpose in pursuance of that provision on more than that number of days in that period.
