Every application for permission to develop land made under the former Law and wholly or partly dealt with by the Authority or Board as at the 30th July, 2002, is to be continued and dealt with in all respects as if the new Law had not come into force.
Permission to develop land, granted as a result of an application determined under subsection (1), is to be granted on the same terms and conditions that would have applied if the new Law had not come into force.
In the case of an appeal against —
any decision of the Authority or the Board; or
any decision or order of the Tribunal or the Appeals Tribunal,
that has been commenced but not finally determined before the new Law comes into force, the appeal is to continue to be dealt with as if the new Law had not come into force; and when the appeal is finally determined, the former Law is to apply subject to any necessary modifications as if the appeal had been finally determined before the new Law came into force.
Any permission to develop land, granted under the former Law and in force immediately before the date of commencement of the Development and Planning (Amendment) Act, 2014 (Law 19 of 2014) —
shall have effect from that date, as if granted under the new Law; and
in the case of permission granted for a limited period only, shall remain in force, subject to the provisions of the new Law, for so much of that period as falls after that date.
In this section —
"Appeals Tribunal", "Authority", "Board" and "Tribunal" have the respective meanings assigned to those expressions by section 2(1) of the principal Act;
"former Law" means the Act in force immediately before the date of commencement of the Development and Planning (Amendment) Act, 2014 [Law 19 of 2014];
"new Law" means the principal Act as amended by the Development and Planning (Amendment) Act, 2014 [Law 19 of 2014]; and
"permission granted for a limited period only" has the meaning assigned to that expression by section 15(2) of the principal Act.
