Paragraph 2 Power of the Welsh Ministers to direct authority to modify order before adoptionI1

If the Welsh Ministers consider that a local development order being prepared by a planning authority is unsatisfactory, they may at any time before the order is adopted direct the authority to modify the order in accordance with the direction.

If the Welsh Ministers give a direction under this paragraph, they must state their reasons for doing so.

The planning authority must not adopt the order unless the Welsh Ministers give notice that they are satisfied that the authority has complied with the direction.
