Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations bring into force section 181 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016 (c. 22) (“the Act”) insofar as it is not already in force. Section 181 of the Act inserts new section 14D into the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 (c. 67) (“the 1981 Act”). This enables the Welsh Ministers as confirming authority to appoint an inspector to act instead of them in relation to the confirmation of a compulsory purchase order to which section 13A of the 1981 Act applies.
