Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Part 6 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (“the Act”) applies in relation to Wales and establishes a system of local development plans (LDPs) in place of the unitary development plans required under Chapter 1 of Part II of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (“the 1990 Act”).

Part 6 of the Act has been brought into force by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (Commencement No. 3 and Consequential and Transitional Provisions) (Wales) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/1229 (W.87) (C.56)) (“the No. 3 Order”) and the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (Commencement No.4 and Consequential, Transitional and Savings Provisions) (Wales) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/2722 (W.193) (C.110)) (“the No. 4 Order”). These two Orders contain transitional arrangements to enable certain local planning authorities to prepare unitary development plans under the 1990 Act, rather than moving immediately to the system of LDPs introduced by the Act.

The effect of this Order is to clarify, for the avoidance of doubt, that those transitional arrangements continue to apply to the local planning authorities listed in the Schedule to the No. 4 Order.
