  "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—\n(a) power to correct errors in a decision document, which is defined in section 86 of the 2024 Act as an infrastructure consent order or a notice notifying an applicant their application for infrastructure consent has been refused (section 87 of the 2024 Act), and\n(b) power, by order, to change or revoke an infrastructure consent order (section 90 of the 2024 Act).\nThese Regulations make provision about the procedure for correcting an error in a decision document and about the procedure in relation to applications to change or revoke an infrastructure consent order.\nPart 1 of these Regulations makes general provision.\nPart 2 of these Regulations makes provision about consultation where it is proposed that an error in a decision document be corrected, giving notice of a decision whether or not to correct an error and the effect of such a decision.\nPart 3 of these Regulations makes provision about the procedure in relation to making applications to change or revoke an infrastructure consent order, including the pre-application procedure.\nPart 4 of these Regulations makes provision about the procedure for examining an application to change or revoke an infrastructure consent order where an examining authority is appointed under section 40(2) of the 2024 Act.\nPart 5 of these Regulations makes provision about the procedure to be followed where an examining authority is not appointed to examine an application.\nPart 6 of these Regulations makes provision about the making of decisions on applications to change or revoke an infrastructure consent order and the effect of such decisions. It also makes provision about the “relevant day” for the purposes of section 96(7)(b) of the 2024 Act (legal challenges) and the procedure following the quashing of a decision.\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.
