Mobile Homes (Wales) Act 2013

Procedure for making orders imposing prohibitions

4 (1) If, before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the date of the first publication of a notice under paragraph 2, an objection to the making of the order to which the notice relates is duly made to the local authority by any person entitled to the soil of the land, and the notice is not subsequently withdrawn, the local authority must not proceed with the making of the order.

(2) Subject to that, the local authority may, at any time within 1 year after the end of that period, make an order in the terms of the draft order.

(3) But if any objection to the making of the order was duly made within that period by a person who was not entitled to the soil of the land, and the objection has not been withdrawn at the date on which the order is made, the order does not take effect until it is confirmed by the Welsh Ministers.

(4) Where the local authority submits an order to the Welsh Ministers for confirmation, it must send to the Welsh Ministers a copy of every such objection as is referred to in the sub-paragraph (3).

(5) The Welsh Ministers, after considering every such objection and (if they think fit) causing a local inquiry to be held, may confirm or refuse to confirm the order and, if they confirm it, may do so subject to such modifications (if any) as they think desirable.
