Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004

[F1 19 (1) Not later than 15 February before the start of each financial year other than its first financial year, a strategic planning panel must give each constituent local planning authority notice of the amount which the authority is required to pay to the panel for that financial year. E+W

(2) The amount is to be calculated as follows—

(a) take the estimate of the panel's qualifying expenditure set out in its work programme for the year published under paragraph 18;

(b) calculate the amount representing the authority's proportion of that expenditure in accordance with the panel's determination under paragraph 17;

(c) make any adjustments prescribed by regulations made by the Welsh Ministers.

(3) The authority must pay the amount to the panel.

(4) Sub-paragraphs (5) to (7) apply if during a financial year—

(b) making the calculation in sub-paragraph (2) for that financial year in accordance with the revised determination or estimate would give a different amount, for any constituent local planning authority, from that specified in the most recent notice given to the authority under this paragraph.

(5) The panel must give the authority notice of the revised amount which the authority is required to pay to the panel for the financial year.

(6) If the authority has not already made a payment to the panel in accordance with this paragraph, it must instead pay the panel the revised amount.

(7) If the authority has already made a payment to the panel in accordance with this paragraph—

(a) where the revised amount is greater than the amount that has been paid, the authority must pay the difference to the panel;
