CHAPTER 4ENFORCEMENT OF CONTROLS RELATING TO LISTED BUILDINGS

Enforcement notices issued by Welsh Ministers

I1134Power of Welsh Ministers to issue enforcement notice

1

The Welsh Ministers may issue an enforcement notice if they consider—

a

that works which involve a breach of section 88 (requirement for works to be authorised) or of a condition subject to which listed building consent has been granted have been or are being carried out in relation to a listed building, and

b

that it is appropriate to issue the notice, having regard to the effect of the works on the character of the building as a building of special architectural or historic interest.

2

Before issuing the notice, the Welsh Ministers must consult the planning authority in whose area the building is situated.

3

An enforcement notice issued by the Welsh Ministers has the same effect as one issued by a planning authority.

4

Sections 123 to 132 apply in relation to an enforcement notice issued by the Welsh Ministers as if references to a planning authority were references to the Welsh Ministers.
