Article 21 Notice of decision

(1)

The Welsh Ministers shall give notice of their decision and the reasons for it in writing to—

(a)

in the case of a non-Welsh Ministers order, the acquiring authority;

(b)

each remaining objector;

(c)

any person entitled to appear at the inquiry who did appear at it; and

(d)

any other person who, having appeared at the inquiry, has asked to be notified of the decision.

(2)

Where a copy of the inspector’s report is not sent with the notice of the decision, the notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the inspector’s conclusions and of any recommendations made by the inspector, and if a person entitled to be notified of the decision has not received a copy of that report, that person shall be supplied with a copy of it on written application made to the Welsh Ministers within 4 weeks of the date of the decision.

(3)

In this rule “report” includes any assessor’s report appended to the inspector’s report but does not include any other documents so appended, but any person who has received a copy of the report may apply in writing to the Welsh Ministers within 6 weeks of the publication of the notice of making of the order pursuant to section 15 of the Act, or paragraph 6 of Schedule 1 to the Act, as the case may be, for an opportunity of inspecting such documents and the Welsh Ministers shall afford such person that opportunity.
