EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make provision for applications for, and the grant of scheduled monument consent, including a simplified procedure for making applications.
Regulations 3 to 5 make provision about applications and the form and manner in which scheduled monument consent is given by the Welsh Ministers.
Regulations 6 and 7 make consequential amendments to the Transport and Works Applications (Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas and Ancient Monuments Procedure) Regulations 1992 and the Developments of National Significance (Wales) Regulations 2016.
Regulation 8 revokes the Ancient Monuments (Applications for Scheduled Monument Consent) Regulations 1981 in relation to Wales and the Ancient Monuments (Applications for Scheduled Monument Consent) (Welsh Forms and Particulars) Regulations 2001 and contains a saving provision.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a Regulatory Impact Assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations. The Impact Assessment prepared for the Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2016 is relevant and is available from Historic Environment Services (Cadw), Welsh Government, Plas Carew, Cardiff, CF15 7QQ and on the Welsh Government’s website at www.wales.gov.uk.
