Planning Act 2008 · 2008 c. 29View on legislation.gov.uk

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

This section applies if—

an order granting development consent includes provision authorising the discharge of water into inland waters or underground strata, and
but for the order, the person to whom development consent is granted would have had no power to take water, or to require discharges to be made, from the inland waters or other source from which the discharges authorised by the order are intended to be made.

The order does not have the effect of conferring any such power on that person.
