Amendment of The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (Commencement No 4 and Consequential, Transitional and Savings Provisions) (Wales) Order 2005 2 In the Schedule to The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (Commencement No 4 and Consequential, Transitional and Savings Provisions) (Wales) Order 2005 omit the words “Gwynedd County Council.” Rosemary Thomas Chief Planner / Deputy Director Under authority of the Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing, one of the Welsh Ministers 19 January 2011 (This note is not part of the Order)

This Order brings to an end the transitional arrangements made under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (Commencement No 4 and Consequential, Transitional and Savings Provisions) (Wales) Order 2005 (“the No 4 Order”) in relation to Gwynedd County Council (“the Council”).

Under those arrangements, each local planning authority listed in the Schedule to the No 4 Order is able to continue with the process leading ultimately to the adoption of its unitary development plan under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, instead of having to start work on the preparation of a local development plan under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

This Order removes the Council from the list of local planning authorities in the Schedule to the No 4 Order and thus places the Council under a duty to prepare a local development plan for its area.

The functions conferred on the National Assembly for Wales by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (c. 5) are exercisable by the Welsh Ministers by virtue of section 162 of, and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to, the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32). 2004 c. 5.
