And whereas the Secretary of State caused an inquiry to be held for the purposes of the application pursuant to section 11 of that Act;
And whereas the Secretary of State, having considered the report of the person who held the inquiry, has determined to make an Order giving effect to the proposals comprised in the application with modifications which in her opinion do not make any substantial change in the proposals;
And whereas the Secretary of State has obtained the agreement of the National Assembly for Wales in accordance with Schedule 2 to the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 ;
