The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Amendment (No. 2) Order 2001 (Scottish Statutory Instrument 2001/266) revoked and replaced the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2001 (SSI 2001/244) and specified a transitional arrangement applying to development started before it came into force.The transitional arrangement allows development under permitted development rights started before 23 July and completed within 14 days of that date to benefit from the permitted development rights which were in place prior to the new tighter controls coming into force. If such development is not completed within that timescale, any development carried out on or after 23 July will be subject to the planning controls which came into force on that date.The new planning legislation does not provide for an extension to the 14-day period described in the transitional arrangement, which runs consecutively without interruption. Enforcement action in relation to any breaches of planning control will be a matter for the planning authority to consider.
