8 Applications relating to works for making good war damage
Where application is made in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance for permission for the rebuilding, restoration or replacement of any building which has sustained war damage, the interim development authority shall not be entitled to refuse permission and shall not be entitled to impose conditions upon the grant thereof, unless it is satisfied that it is expedient so to do on the ground:
(a) that the design or external appearance of the building would seriously injure the amenity of the neighbourhood, and is reasonably capable of modification, or
(b) that the building would not conform with a provision intended to be included in the scheme for fixing, in relation to a road or proposed road, a building line, or
(c) that the building or the proposed use thereof would conflict with provisions intended to be included in the scheme for the reservation of the land or for regulating the use of the buildings permitted thereon, and that it would be necessary in the interests of the scheme to secure the removal or alteration of the building or prohibit the use thereof,
or unless the building is comprised in a locality in respect of which a direction, under clause 5 of this Ordinance, is in force with respect to development of Class III.
