Textual Amendments

F1Ss. 62M-62O and cross-heading inserted (6.9.2015 for specified purposes) by Planning (Wales) Act 2015 (anaw 4), ss. 23, 58(2)(b)(4)(b)

62OOption to make application to Welsh Ministers: connected applicationsE+W

(1)This section applies where an application (the “principal application”) is made to the Welsh Ministers under section 62M.

(2)A connected application that would otherwise have to be made to the local planning authority or hazardous substances authority may (if the applicant so chooses) instead be made to the Welsh Ministers, provided that it is made on the same day as the principal application.

(3)A connected application, for this purpose, is an application under the planning Acts that—

(a)relates to land in Wales,

(b)is an application of a description prescribed by regulations made by the Welsh Ministers, and

(c)is considered by the person making it to be connected to the principal application.

(4)Subsection (5) applies if an application is made to the Welsh Ministers under this section, on the basis that it is a connected application, instead of to a local planning authority or hazardous substances authority, but the Welsh Ministers consider—

(a)that the application is not connected to the principal application, or

(b)that, although the application is connected to the principal application, the decision on the application should not be made by the Welsh Ministers.

(5)The Welsh Ministers must refer the application to the local planning authority or hazardous substances authority.

(6)An application referred to an authority under subsection (5)—

(a)is to be treated as from the date of its referral as being an application made to the authority concerned (instead of an application made to the Welsh Ministers), and

(b)is to be determined by the authority accordingly.

(7)A development order may make provision about the referral of applications under subsection (5) (including provision about what constitutes the referral of an application for the purposes of subsection (6)).]
