  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThe Infrastructure (Wales) Act 2024 (“the 2024 Act”) establishes a unified application and consenting process to enable making and consideration of applications for infrastructure consent. The process applies to the significant infrastructure projects that are specified in Part 1 of the 2024 Act. Broadly, they are energy, transport, waste and water projects.\nPart 6 of the 2024 Act makes provision about infrastructure consent orders (orders granting infrastructure consent) including provision giving the Welsh Ministers power, by order, to change or revoke an infrastructure consent order (section 90 of the 2024 Act).\nSchedule 2 to the 2024 Act makes provision about compensation where an infrastructure consent order is changed or revoked by the Welsh Ministers without an application being made. These Regulations make provision about the way in which, and the period within which, a claim for compensation under that Schedule must be made. They also specify the minimum amount of compensation for depreciation under paragraph 2 of Schedule 2.\nThe Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, a regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations. A copy can be obtained from the Welsh Government at Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ and is published on the Welsh Government website at www.gov.wales.",
