Householder and Commercial Appeals etc update

On 22 June a series of the changes to subordinate legislation came into effect here in Wales.  The main changes:

  • Formalise the previous pilot scheme for fast-tracked Householder and Minor Commercial appeals, a reduced (12 week) period to submit your appeal, with streamlined processes.
  • Remove the 6 month period for lodging a non-determination appeal.
  • Introduce a 4 week "duality" period after lodging a non-determination appeal enabling the Planning Authority to determine the application. 
  • Limit the size of internal mezzanines (200m2) before requiring planning permission.
  • Introduce a duty on Statutory Consultees to make a substantive response within 21 days of consultation and a duty to report annually on performance.
  • Introduce Temporary Stop Notice powers requiring unauthorised/unlawful activities to cease for 28 days.
As always contact us if you require if you have any specific requirements.
