These Regulations make provision as to the procedure relevant to reviews carried out by the Welsh Ministers in relation to their decision to include a building in a list compiled or approved under section 1 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

They include, in particular, provision in relation to the following matters— The classes of review to be decided by an appointed person instead of the Welsh Ministers, the grounds for review, procedural requirements relevant to the making of an application and associated requirements (Part 2); Procedural provision relevant to the extent that a review is carried out on the basis of written representations (Part 3); Procedural provision relevant to the extent that a review is carried out by means of a hearing (Part 4); Procedural provision relevant to the extent that a review is carried out by means of local inquiry (Part 5); Supplementary matters (Part 6); and Procedural provision relevant to the making of a decision on a review (Part 7).

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. 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 these Regulations. The Impact Assessment prepared for the Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2016 is relevant and is available from Historic Environment Services (Cadw), Welsh Government, Plas Carew, Cardiff, CF15 7QQ and on the Welsh Government’s website atwww.wales.gov.uk
