These Regulations amend the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Regulations 1990 in relation to Wales by inserting a new regulation 3B that makes provision in respect of the requirement for access statements to accompany applications for listed building consent. The new provision is in consequence of section 42 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, which inserted the "access statements" requirement into the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
