Section 25 – Directions under section 22 to 24: general provision
55.Section 25 states that any direction made under sections 22 to 24 may be given subject to conditions and may specify the period of time for which it has effect.
56.A direction made by the Welsh Ministers under these sections can be given at the request of a developer or without such a request being made. The Welsh Ministers are not required to consider a request for a direction unless it is a “qualifying request” from a developer. A “qualifying request” is a request in writing for a direction that specifies the development to which it relates. After making a decision on a qualifying request, the Welsh Ministers must give reasons for their decision to the person who made the request.
