Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:30 pm on 18 June 2019.
Llywydd, I thank the Member for that question. When local planning authorities refuse planning permission for a development, the applicant has a right of appeal to the Welsh Ministers. Most appeals are determined by the planning inspector, appointed on behalf of Welsh Ministers. A small number are recovered for determination by decision of the Welsh Ministers themselves.
