The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Wales) (Amendment No. 2) Regulations 2017

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Wales) Regulations 2012.

Regulation 2 replaces the requirement that an application for listed building consent is accompanied by a design and access statement, with a requirement that an application for listed building or conservation area consent is accompanied by a heritage impact statement. It also adds to existing provision about the form and manner in which claims for compensation are made, to include reference to claims arising under section 28B (compensation for loss or damage caused by interim protection) and section 44D (temporary stop notices: compensation), both of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

Regulation 3 contains a transitional provision.

An impact assessment has been prepared in relation to these Regulations. Copies are available from Historic Environment Services (Cadw), Welsh Government, Plas Carew, Cardiff, CF15 7QQ and on the Welsh Government’s website at www.wales.gov.uk.
