Town and Country Planning (Referrals and Appeals) (Written Representations Procedure) (Wales) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 390 (W. 52) of 2003).

These Regulations lay down the procedure and time limits in connection with the determination of an: (a) application which has been referred to the National Assembly for Wales under section 77 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990; (b) appeal under section 78 of the Planning Act (including where that section has been applied to tree preservation orders); (c) several other specified legal actions. Section 78 of the Planning Act confers a right of appeal to the National Assembly against certain planning decisions of the authority and where the authority fails to notify such a planning decision within the prescribed periods. The section is applied to appeals against decisions to refuse consent, to grant conditional consent, to give a direction under a tree preservation order or to refuse an application for consent, agreement or approval required under such a direction (or to fail to determine any of the above within the required time limit) in relation to tree preservation orders
