Section 51 - consequential etc amendments and transitional and saving provision

93.The Welsh Ministers are given power by order to amend, repeal or revoke enactments for the purpose of making consequential amendments.

94.Schedule 1 contains consequential amendments relating to Part 1 of the Measure.

95.Schedule 2 contains consequential amendments relating to Part 2 of the Measure. For example, it requires local authorities and National Park authorities to have regard to community strategies published under the Measure (and not, as at present, those published under the Local Government Act 2000) in producing their Local Development Plans.

96.Schedule 3 contains transitional provisions to “preserve” community strategies prepared under the Local Government Act 2000 until local authorities prepare new strategies under the Measure. Local authorities and National Park authorities will have to continue to have regard to their ‘old’ community strategies until a new one is published under the Measure.
