## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Regulation 3 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Regulations 1990 (“the 1990 Regulations”) makes provision in relation to applications to local planning authorities for listed building consent or conservation area consent.
Regulation 2 of these Regulations inserts regulation 3B into the 1990 Regulations. The new regulation 3B applies in relation to Wales and makes provision in respect of the requirement for access statements to accompany applications for listed building consent. The new provision is in consequence of section 42 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, which inserted the “access statements” requirement into the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
