1
The provisions of this section apply if—
a
an amendment to a licence under section 10(3A) is proposed in respect of any trees to which a tree preservation order relates, and

ii
flora, fauna, geological or physiographical features, or natural habitats.

Before amending the licence, the Natural Resources Body for Wales must give notice in writing of the proposal to the authority by whom the tree preservation order was made.

If, within the prescribed period, the authority by whom the tree preservation order was made objects to the amendment in so far as it affects trees to which the tree preservation order relates, and does not withdraw its objection, the Natural Resources Body for Wales must refer the matter to the Welsh Ministers.

If a matter is referred to the Welsh Ministers under subsection (3), the Welsh Ministers may decide to—
a
grant consent to the amendment, or
b
refuse to grant consent (in which case the amendment cannot be made).

Where the Natural Resources Body for Wales has given notice in writing under subsection (1) to an authority in respect of a proposed amendment, the proposed amendment cannot be made until—
a
the period prescribed under subsection (3) has ended without the authority having objected (or, if the authority has objected, that objection has been withdrawn), or
b
if the Natural Resources Body for Wales has referred the matter to the Welsh Ministers, the Welsh Ministers have given their decision on the matter.
