Rosemary ThomasChief Planner/Deputy Director under authority of the Minister for Environment and Sustainable Development, one of the Welsh Ministers27 June 2012(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 Flintshire County Council (“the Council”).

Under those arrangements, a 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 Schedule to the No. 4 Order and thus places the Council under a duty to prepare a local development plan for its area.

Article 6 of the No. 4 Order is revoked because all local planning authorities in Wales have now given notice of their intention to conclude the exercise of their powers under the Town and Country Planning (Development Plan) Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/2794).
