The list includes a proposal to combine the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) Order 1995/419 and 16 amendment orders into one. Pickles said this would "greatly clarify the planning application system for local authorities, applicants, and other interested parties. The greater clarity provided will free-up valuable local planning authority officer time, which can be redirected towards more fruitful actives than wading through pages of amendments to secondary legislation."
