Extent: E+W

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke and replace with some changes the Town and Country Planning (Enforcement Notices and Appeals) (Wales) Regulations 2003 (“the 2003 Regulations”).
The main changes made by these Regulations are—
(1) the information to be included in an explanatory note to accompany every enforcement notice served by a local planning authority under section 172(2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (“the Planning Act”) is amended in light of the changes referred to in paragraph (4)(a) and (b) (regulation 7);
(2) in relation to appeals to the Welsh Ministers under section 174(3) of the Planning Act or section 39(2) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (“the Listed Buildings Act”)—
(a) the appellant must provide a full statement of case;
(b) the time prescribed under section 174(4) of the Planning Act and section 39(4) of the Listed Buildings Act for submitting a statement in writing to the Welsh Ministers is amended;
(c) the appellant must as soon as reasonably practicable send a copy of the notice of appeal and full statement of case to the local planning authority (regulation 8);
(3) in relation to appeals under section 208(2) of the Planning Act, a written notice of appeal indicating the grounds of appeal and stating the facts on which the appeal is based must be accompanied by a full statement of case (regulation 9);
(4) provision is made in relation to the steps to be taken in connection with the bringing of an appeal to the Welsh Ministers under section 217 of the Planning Act (regulation 10). Broadly the steps to be taken are the same as in relation to an appeal under section 174(3) of the Planning Act or section 39(2) of the Listed Buildings Act.
Provision regarding the subsequent procedure to be followed in connection with appeals under sections 174, 208 and 217 of the Planning Act and section 39 of the Listed Buildings Act is made in the Town and Country Planning (Referred Applications and Appeals Procedure) (Wales) Regulations 2017.
Some minor and consequential drafting changes have also been made.
The 2003 Regulations and amending provisions are revoked and there are transitional and saving provisions.
