# The Town and Country Planning (Local Development Plan) (Wales) Regulations 2005, Regulation 9: Delivery Agreement

Extent: E+W

(1) A delivery agreement must consist of the community involvement scheme (prepared in accordance with regulation 6) and the timetable (prepared in accordance with regulation 8) and must be approved by resolution of the LPA and then submitted to the Welsh Ministers for their agreement.
(2) The National Assembly must respond within four weeks of receipt of the delivery agreement, unless it has, before the expiry of that period, notified the LPA in writing that it requires more time to consider the document.
(3) If before the end of the period mentioned in paragraph (2), the National Assembly has failed to respond to the receipt by it of the delivery agreement, it will be deemed to be agreed at the end of that period.
(4) Until such time as the Welsh Ministers agree the delivery agreement, the LPA must not take any steps under regulation 15 or 26A.
(4A) The LPA must notify—
(a) the specific consultation bodies; and
(b) such of the general consultation bodies as the LPA considers appropriate,
as soon as reasonably practicable after a revision to a delivery agreement is agreed or deemed to be agreed under paragraph (3).
(5) The LPA must keep the delivery agreement under regular review and any revision must comply with paragraph (1)(a) prior to being agreed with the National Assembly, and subject to paragraph (2) and (3).
(6) The LPA does not need to comply with a particular requirement of its community involvement scheme if it has reasonable grounds to believe that it is not likely to prejudice any person’s opportunity to be involved in the exercise of the LPA’s functions under Part 6 of the Act if it does not comply with that requirement.
