Regulation 4 Consultation with the Welsh Ministers on draft agreement or draft variation
These are the requirements referred to in regulation 3 which relate to consultation.
A planning authority must—
send a copy of the draft agreement or draft variation (as the case may be) to the Welsh Ministers, and
invite representations from the Welsh Ministers within a specified period of at least 21 days beginning with the day on which the draft agreement or draft variation is received by them.
But the planning authority is not required to comply with paragraph (2) if—
the Welsh Ministers are a proposed party to the draft agreement or draft variation, or
another planning authority has complied with paragraph (2) in relation to that draft agreement or draft variation.
During the consultation period specified under paragraph (2)(b), the Welsh Ministers may give notice to the planning authority who invited representations that they require further time in which to consider the draft agreement or draft variation.
If the Welsh Ministers give the notice specified in paragraph (4), the consultation period in paragraph (2)(b) is extended for the period specified in that notice.
