The Town and Country Planning (Trees) Regulations 1999 (“the 1999 Regulations”) make provision, among other things, for the form of tree preservation orders and for applications for consent to carry out work on trees subject to an order.

Regulation 2(2) of these Regulations inserts a new regulation 9B into the 1999 Regulations to make provision for the form and content of applications for consent for tree works in Wales. Consequential amendments are made to the Schedule to the 1999 Regulations by regulation 2(3).

An impact assessment was prepared in relation to these Regulations. Copies may be obtained from the Planning Directorate, the Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ and online at www.wales.gov.uk.
