CHAPTER 4 ENFORCEMENT OF CONTROLS RELATING TO LISTED BUILDINGS

Enforcement notices issued by Welsh Ministers

134 Power of Welsh Ministers to issue enforcement notice
(1) The Welsh Ministers may issue an enforcement notice if they consider—
(a) that works which involve a breach of section 88 (requirement for works to be authorised) or of a condition subject to which listed building consent has been granted have been or are being carried out in relation to a listed building, and
(b) that it is appropriate to issue the notice, having regard to the effect of the works on the character of the building as a building of special architectural or historic interest.
(2) Before issuing the notice, the Welsh Ministers must consult the planning authority in whose area the building is situated.
(3) An enforcement notice issued by the Welsh Ministers has the same effect as one issued by a planning authority.
(4) Sections 123 to 132 apply in relation to an enforcement notice issued by the Welsh Ministers as if references to a planning authority were references to the Welsh Ministers.
