Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992 (“the 1992 Regulations”) make provision, among other things, for the form of applications for express consent to display an advertisement.

Regulation 2 of these Regulations substitutes regulation 9 of the 1992 Regulations. Substituted regulation 9 requires applications for express consent to be made on a form published by the Welsh Ministers and specifies the procedure for making an application for express consent. The form was published on the Planning Portal website and is available from that website and local planning authorities.

An impact assessment was prepared in relation to these Regulations. Copies may be obtained from the Planning Directorate, the Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ and online at www.wales.gov.uk.

1990 c. 8. Section 220 was amended by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (c. 5), section 42(4). Section 333(1) was amended by the Environment Act 1995 (c. 25), section 78 and Schedule 10, paragraph 32(12).

(2)

Functions under those sections, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672). By virtue of section 162 of, and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to, the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32), those functions are now exercisable by the Welsh Ministers.
