The power to make Regulations authorising such payments is under Section 20A of the Land Compensation Act 1973, inserted by paragraph 5(1) of Schedule 15 to the Planning and Compensation Act 1991. The power to make payments under these Regulations is parallel to the duty to provide noise insulation in buildings or to make grant payments instead, under the Noise Insulation Regulations 1975 (S.I. 1975/1763 as amended by S.I. 1988/2000). For practical reasons those provisions cannot be applied to movable homes. 2001 No. 604 (W.27) Made 27th February 2001 Coming into force 1st April 2001 The National Assembly for Wales, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 20A of the Land Compensation Act 1973, hereby makes the following Regulations:— 1973 c. 26; section 20A was inserted by the Planning and Compensation Act 1991 (c. 34), section 70 and Schedule 15, paragraph 5(1).
