Sch 5A para 7
(1) Before making or altering a scheme, a planning authority must— (a) formulate their proposals for the scheme or alteration to be made, having first consulted in accordance with paragraph 8, and (b) consult on their proposals in accordance with paragraphs 9 and 10. (2) Having considered any responses received to the consultation on their proposals (as paragraph 10 requires), the planning authority may (subject to any direction under paragraph 12 or Chapter 1 of Part 4)— (a) make the proposed scheme or alteration, (b) make a scheme or alteration which, in light of the consideration given to responses received to the consultation and any other matters which appear to the authority to be material, differs from what they proposed, or (c) decide not to make any scheme or alteration. (3) If the planning authority wish to make an alteration that would have an effect described in sub-paragraph (1)(b) of paragraph 13, they must wait as required by that paragraph before making the alteration.
