Regulation 53 Section 30A applications: appointed personsI1
England and Wales
The Welsh Ministers may appoint a person to determine a section 30A application instead of the Welsh Ministers.
At any time before a person appointed under this regulation has determined the application the Welsh Ministers may—
revoke that person’s appointment;
appoint another person to determine the application instead.
Where a new appointment is made the consideration of the application in question must be started afresh.
Nothing in paragraph (3) requires any person to be given an opportunity to make fresh representations or modify or withdraw representations previously made.
A person appointed under this regulation has the same powers and duties in relation to determination of a section 30A application as the Welsh Ministers and, in particular, regulation 52 (section 30A applications: determinations) applies as if references to the Welsh Ministers in that regulation were references to that person.
Where an application is determined by a person appointed under this regulation their decision is to be treated as the decision of the Welsh Ministers.
