Correction Slip
This statutory instrument document, identified as a CORRECTION to The Planning Data (England) Regulations 2026, amends the published Explanatory Note by correcting an incorrect government guidance URL on page 4.
Specifically, it substitutes 'https://www.gov.uk/guidance/' with the correct link 'https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/publish-your-plan-data/publish-yourplan-data' to ensure the guidance on how to publish plan data is accurately referenced.
Arguments For
Ensuring the Explanatory Note for the Regulations contains accurate cross-reference links, which supports clarity and legal accessibility for users intending to follow guidance on publishing plan data.
Maintaining the integrity of official government documentation by promptly rectifying typographical or referencing errors in published statutory instruments.
Arguments Against
No counter-arguments exist for a correction notice correcting a single typographical error in a reference web link, as the amendment serves to restore intended functionality and accuracy.
The necessary process of issuing a correction note itself, while minor, represents an administrative step introduced due to an initial error.
