Giving effect to the decision on an appeal

17.—(1) Where an appeal is against a decision by a relevant authority not to give a direction and the decision of the National Assembly in relation to that appeal is that the relevant authority should give a direction, the relevant authority must, as soon as possible, give a direction in accordance with the decision of the National Assembly and must comply with the requirements of regulation 12(1) (but not those of regulation 12(2)) in relation to it.

(2) Where on an appeal the National Assembly decides that the terms of a direction should be different from those of the direction originally given by the relevant authority, the relevant authority must, as soon as possible, prepare an amended direction in accordance with that decision, incorporating a statement that it is a direction amended by reason of that decision, and must comply with the requirements of regulation 12(1) (but not those of regulation 12(2)) in relation to it.

(3) A direction whose terms are required to be amended in accordance with a decision of the National Assembly on an appeal has effect as so amended from the date of that decision.

(4) Where the decision of the National Assembly, in relation to an appeal, is that a direction given by a relevant authority should be cancelled, the relevant authority must, as soon as possible, prepare a statement to that effect and comply with the requirements of regulation 12(1) (but not those of regulation 12(2)) in relation to it, as if the statement were a direction revoking that originally given.

(5) A direction which is cancelled in accordance with a decision of the National Assembly on an appeal ceases to have effect from the date of that decision.

(6) References in this regulation to decisions of the National Assembly include references to decisions by appointed persons authorised by the National Assembly to decide appeals.
