Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2023

Powers and duties of appointed person

2 (1) An appointed person has the same powers and duties—

(a) in relation to an appeal under section 100 as the Welsh Ministers have under section 104;

(b) in relation to an appeal under section 127 as the Welsh Ministers have under section 128.

(2) Sub-paragraph (3) applies where any enactment (other than this Schedule or section 174)—

(a) refers (or is to be read as referring) to the Welsh Ministers in a context relating to or capable of relating to an appeal to which section 173 applies, or

(b) refers (or is to be read as referring) to anything done or authorised or required to be done by, to or before the Welsh Ministers in connection with any such appeal.

(3) So far as the context permits, the enactment is to be read, in relation to an appeal determined or to be determined by an appointed person, as if the reference to the Welsh Ministers were or included a reference to an appointed person.
