Regulation 3 amends the Areas of Archaeological Importance (Notification of Operations) (Exemption) Order 1984.

They clarify the operation of the Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas (Procedure and Interest Rate) (Wales) Regulations 2024 where an application is made under both sets of Regulations.

the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Undetermined Reviews of Old Mineral Permissions) (Wales) Regulations 2009,
the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Wales) Order 2012, and
the Developments of National Significance (Procedure) (Wales) Order 2016, respectively.
Regulation 8 remakes an amendment to the Infrastructure Planning (Interested Parties and Miscellaneous Prescribed Provisions) Regulations 2015 so that a list of primary legislation is in chronological order.

Regulation 12 amends the English text of the Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas (Procedure and Interest Rate) (Wales) Regulations 2024 to correct an error.
