The Listed Buildings (Urgent Works) (Interest Rate on Expenses) (Wales) Order 2017

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 54 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (“the 1990 Act”) enables a local authority or the Welsh Ministers to execute works which appear to them to be urgently necessary for the preservation of listed buildings.

This Order makes provision in relation to the rate of interest carried by expenses which a local authority or the Welsh Ministers may recover under section 55 of the 1990 Act in relation to such works.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to this Order. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a Regulatory Impact Assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with this Order.
