Section 175 — Procedural requirements
656.Section 175 allows the Welsh Ministers to make regulations setting out the procedures to be followed in connection with any appeal, application or reference that is to be considered by the Welsh Ministers under Part 3 and Part 4 of the Act (whether by local inquiry, hearing or written representations). The regulations may also make provision for the procedure to be followed for any other local inquiry or hearing held by or on behalf of Welsh Ministers under Parts 3 or 4 or this Part of the Act. For example, the regulations may, therefore, set procedures for hearings or inquiries that are held before the Welsh Ministers to confirm an order modifying or revoking listed building consent (see Schedule 8). The Welsh Government has published the Procedural Guide — Wales (2017), for appeals including listed building and conservation area consent appeals, listed building and conservation area enforcement notice appeals and listed building or conservation area consent call-ins. It is available on the “Planning appeals guidance” page of the Welsh Government website.
