These Regulations apply where the National Assembly for Wales is authorised to recover costs borne by it in connection with inquiries or other hearings relating to unitary development plans, local plans or simplified planning zones which have effect in Wales.

The Regulations prescribe a standard daily amount which may be charged for each day the person appointed to hold the inquiry or hearing is engaged in the conduct of it, or is otherwise engaged on work connected with it.

The amount prescribed by these Regulations, in relation to an inquiry or other hearing which opens on or after 1 April 2005, is £679.

This replaces the amount of £618, which was prescribed for the 2004/2005 year by The Town and Country Planning (Costs of Inquiries etc) (Standard Daily Amount) (Wales) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/2801) (W.269), otherwise than in relation to a qualifying inquiry to which those Regulations applied and which opened before, and remains open after, 1 April 2005.
