(This note does not form part of the Order)
Section 60 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 ("the Act") imposes on the National Assembly for Wales ("the National Assembly") the duty to prepare a spatial plan ("the Wales Spatial Plan"), to consult the public on its provisions and to approve and publish it.
Article 2 of this Order brings section 60 of the Act into force on 14 July 2004.
Work on the preparation of the Wales Spatial Plan, including public consultation, having been begun under the National Assembly's general powers prior to the coming into force of section 60 of the Act, article 3 of this Order provides that steps taken by the National Assembly in relation to that plan before that section came into force are nevertheless to be regarded as steps taken pursuant to the relevant duties under that section.
