EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the schedule to the Infrastructure Planning (Miscellaneous Prescribed Provisions) Regulations 2010. That schedule contains lists of consents and authorisations prescribed for the purposes of section 150(1) of the Planning Act 2008. The consents listed in Part 1 of that schedule are prescribed in respect of England and Wales and the consents listed in Part 2 are prescribed in respect of Wales only.

Regulation 2 of these Regulations moves 16 consents from the list in Part 1 of that schedule to the list in Part 2 of that schedule (by revoking those items from the first list and inserting them into the second list). The effect of these amendments is that these 16 consents are now prescribed in respect of Wales only.

By regulation 3, the amendments made by these Regulations do not apply in respect of any application for an order granting development consent made to the Secretary of State in accordance with section 37 of the Planning Act 2008 before 6th April 2013.

No Impact Assessment has been prepared for these Regulations but an Impact Assessment was published as part of the original consultation and is available at www.gov.uk/government/consultations/nationally-significant-infrastructure-planning-expanding-and-improving-the-one-stop-shop-approach-for-consents.
