Regulation 10 Public inquiries where there are objections by other personsI1
England and Wales
This regulation applies where—
the Welsh Ministers are not required by virtue of regulation 9(1) to cause a public inquiry to be held; but
objections or copies of objections have been sent to the Welsh Ministers in accordance with these Regulations.
The Welsh Ministers must—
consider objections or copies of objections sent to them in accordance with these Regulations, together with all other material considerations, with a view to determining whether a public inquiry should be held with respect to the application; and
cause a public inquiry to be held if they think it appropriate to do so, either in addition to or instead of any other hearing or opportunity of stating objections to the application.
