Part III: Control over development

The conditions and limitations on planning permission which may be specified in a simplified planning zone scheme may include—

conditions or limitations in respect of all development permitted by the scheme or in respect of particular descriptions of development so permitted, and
conditions or limitations requiring the consent, agreement or approval of the local planning authority in relation to particular descriptions of permitted development.

Different conditions or limitations may be specified in a simplified planning zone scheme for different cases or classes of case.

Nothing in a simplified planning zone scheme shall affect the right of any person—

to do anything not amounting to development, or
to carry out development for which planning permission is not required or for which permission has been granted otherwise than by the scheme.

No limitation or restriction subject to which permission has been granted otherwise than under the scheme shall affect the right of any person to carry out development for which permission has been granted under the scheme.

A simplified planning zone scheme may not disapply the condition under paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A (biodiversity gain condition).
