Executive Summary
The Act is a welcome reform to some of the current inefficiencies of the Welsh planning system. However, Energy UK is concerned that a number of the proposals are still subject to supplemental legislation, and therefore not yet finalised, as well as aspects of the proposals creating additional hurdles to developers by being overly prescriptive in places. This is particularly true to areas such as Statutory Consultees, as well as duty to consult what could be a potentially very broad number of stakeholders. We look forward to seeing how supplemental legislation will expand and define these further, and seeing the Act progress into implementation.
