I thank the Department for the briefing note on this and other matters. In the context of section 11, if a developer gets a section 10 declaration for exempted development, under no circumstances at all, except what is provided here - namely, where they knowingly provided false information or withheld information and regardless of what new information could come to light at any stage and from any source - there is an absolute prohibition on the council or planning authority bringing a case to court because that section 10 declaration is conclusive. That is it.
