These Regulations, which apply in relation to Wales, vary Part 2 of Schedule 2 (surface waters in Wales) to the Bathing Water Regulations 2013 (“the Regulations”), which lists the waters identified by the Welsh Ministers as bathing waters in Wales.

Regulation 2 of these Regulations adds Llyn Padarn and Rhyl East to the list of identified bathing waters in the Regulations.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been produced for these amended regulations as there is no change to policy, or impact on business or the voluntary sectors foreseen.
