A county council in respect of any part of their area for which there is a district council must prepare and maintain a scheme to be known as their minerals and waste development scheme.
Section 15 (ignoring subsections (1) and (2)(e)) applies in relation to a minerals and waste development scheme as it applies in relation to a local development scheme.
This Part applies to a minerals and waste development scheme as it applies to a local development scheme and for that purpose—
references to a local development scheme include references to a minerals and waste development scheme;
references to a local planning authority include references to a county council.
But subsection (3) does not apply to—
section 17(3);
section 24(1)(b), (4) and (7);
the references in section 24(5) to subsection (4) and the Mayor;
sections 29 to 31.
Also, subsection (3)(b) does not apply to section 33A(1)(a) and (b).
