Part 7: Orders granting development consent — Chapter 1: Content of orders

This section applies to land belonging to the National Trust which is held by the Trust inalienably.

An order granting development consent is subject to special parliamentary procedure, to the extent that the order authorises the compulsory acquisition of land to which this section applies, if the condition in subsection (3) is met.

The condition is that—

a representation has been made by the National Trust about the application for the order granting development consent before the completion of the examination of the application,
the representation contains an objection to the compulsory acquisition of the land, and
the objection has not been withdrawn.

In a case to which this section applies and to which section 131 or 132 also applies, special parliamentary procedure—

may be required by subsection (2) whether or not also required by section 131(3) or 132(2), and
may be required by section 131(3) or 132(2) whether or not also required by subsection (2).

In this section "held inalienably", in relation to land belonging to the National Trust, means that the land is inalienable under section 21 of the National Trust Act 1907 (c. cxxxvi) or section 8 of the National Trust Act 1939 (c. lxxxvi).

In this section "the National Trust" means the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty incorporated by the National Trust Act 1907 (c. cxxxvi).
