The changes also accord with the Killian Pretty  recommendation to make the policy framework simpler and more  user-friendly. The direction introduces a new requirement for local  planning authorities to refer applications in circumstances where  English Heritage is sustaining an objection on the grounds that a  proposed development &#8220;could have an adverse impact on the outstanding  universal value, integrity, authenticity and significance of a world  heritage site or its setting&#8221;. Planning minister Iain Wright told  Parliament: &#8220;This new direction will not affect the Secretary of State&#8217;s  power under section 77 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to  direct that any particular planning application should be called in for  her own determination irrespective of whether it falls within the terms  of this direction. It will still be open to anyone to request that any  application be considered for &#8216;call in&#8217;.&#8221; At the same time, Communities  and Local Government is cancelling a number of other planning circulars  and other guidance documents which have become obsolete but have never  been formally withdrawn. <a title=\"http:\/\/www.planningportal.gov.uk\/england\/professionals\/en\/1115316668405.html\" href=\"http:\/\/www.planningportal.gov.uk\/england\/professionals\/en\/1115316668405.html\">http:\/\/www.planningportal.gov.uk\/england\/professionals<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/www.planningportal.gov.uk\/england\/professionals\/en\/1115316668405.html\" href=\"http:\/\/www.planningportal.gov.uk\/england\/professionals\/en\/1115316668405.html\">\/en\/1115316668405.html<\/a> <a title=\"http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications\/planningandbuilding\/circularconsultationdirect\" href=\"http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications\/planningandbuilding\/circularconsultationdirect\">http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications\/planningandbuilding\/circularconsultationdirect\" href=\"http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications\/planningandbuilding\/circularconsultationdirect\">planningandbuilding\/circularconsultationdirect<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For letter to CPOs see: <a title=\"http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications\/planningandbuilding\/letterconsultationdirect\" href=\"http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications\/planningandbuilding\/letterconsultationdirect\">http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications\/planningandbuilding\/letterconsultationdirect\" href=\"http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications\/planningandbuilding\/letterconsultationdirect\">\/planningandbuilding\/letterconsultationdirect<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A revised policy on call-ins in England will come into force on 20 April and is designed to reduce the number of cases handled by the Secretary of State. \u00a0In line with the commitment given in the Planning White Paper &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=339\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=339"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":340,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339\/revisions\/340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
