7. Application for determination whether permission is required

If any person who proposes to carry out any operations on land or make any change in the use of land or buildings wishes to have it determined whether the carrying out of those operations or the making of that change in the use of the land or buildings would constitute or involve development within the meaning of the Act and, if so, whether an application for permission in respect thereof is required under the Act having regard to this Order, he may apply to the Minister or planning authority, as the case may be, to determine that question.

8. Application for grant of permission

(1) An application to the Minister or planning authority, as the case may be, for any permission or decision required under this Order shall, unless otherwise provided in this Order, be made in accordance with the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Application for Planning Permission) Regulations.

(2) The Minister or planning authority shall give not less than 14 days’ notice to the authority required to be consulted that such an application is to be taken into consideration, and shall not determine the application until after the expiration of the period mentioned in such notice and shall, in deciding the application, take into account any representations or objections received from such authority.
