(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations are made by the Welsh Ministers in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 21B and 40 of the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Act 1990 ("the 1990 Act").
These Regulations are preceded by the Town and Country Planning (Determination of Procedure) (Wales) Order 2014, which inserted section 21B into the 1990 Act.
Section 21B of the 1990 Act gives the Welsh Ministers the power to determine the procedure for certain proceedings in Wales, namely proceedings for applications referred to the Welsh Ministers under section 20 and appeals under section 21 of the 1990 Act. Determinations of procedure for such proceedings must be made by the Welsh Ministers before the end of the prescribed period.
These Regulations prescribe that period as seven working days from the relevant date, which is defined for these purposes.
