Extent: E+W
Status: prospective

(1) It is not a ground of application to the High Court for statutory review under section 376, or of appeal to the High Court under section 378 or 379, that an appeal ought to have been determined by the Welsh Ministers instead of an inspector, unless the appellant or the planning authority challenges the inspector’s power to determine the appeal before the decision on the appeal is given.
(2) An inspector’s functions of determining an appeal and doing anything in connection with it are to be treated for the purposes of the Public Services Ombudsman (Wales) Act 2019 (anaw 3) as functions of the Welsh Government.
