Signed by authority of the Secretary of State for Wales

Gwilym Jones

Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Welsh Office

6th March 1996

The Local Government (Wales) Act 1994 creates unitary authorities in Wales which will carry out the functions of the existing district and county councils as from 1st April 1996. As a consequence of this the distinction between county planning authorities and district planning authorities will no longer be relevant in Wales.
This Order makes amendments to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 in consequence of the local government changes in Wales, and the fact that there will no longer be county and district planning authorities in Wales. Additionally, corrections are made to the descriptions of the areas of land in Wales which are specified in Part 3 of Schedule 1 to the 1995 Order, in that the references to the communities of Llansanffraid Glan Conwy, Porthmadog, Ffestiniog and Mawddwy have not been repeated.
