Section 82

Subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), the assessment provisions apply where a simplified planning zone scheme is adopted or approved. Subject to paragraph (4), where a simplified planning zone scheme is adopted or approved, that scheme is not to be taken to grant planning permission for development which (either alone or in combination with other plans or projects) is likely to have a significant effect on a European offshore marine site or (where the development is not directly connected with or necessary to the management of the site) on a European site, unless adopted or approved in accordance with the assessment provisions. Where a simplified planning zone scheme for an area in England is adopted or approved, that scheme is not to be taken to grant planning permission for development which— unless adopted or approved in accordance with the assessment provisions. is likely to have a significant effect on a Ramsar site (either alone or in combination with other plans or projects), and is not directly connected with or necessary to the management of the site, Regulation 64 (Considerations of overriding public interest) does not apply to the adoption or approval of a simplified planning zone scheme. Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not apply to a simplified planning zone scheme adopted or approved before 28th December 2018. Subject to paragraph (6) the review provisions apply to a simplified planning zone scheme unless— the development permitted by that scheme was completed before 28th December 2018; or the development permitted by that scheme has been completed before the site became a European site , a Ramsar site or a European offshore marine site. The reference to regulation 64 in the review provisions does not apply to a simplified planning zone scheme. See regulation 85A for the assumptions about nutrient pollution standards to be made in certain circumstances.
