TAN 15

We began to hear rumours a couple of weeks ago that the were stirrings about the impacts of the new TAN 15 and Wales Flood Maps due to come into force on 01 December. Talk of threats of JR, letters from WLGA, impacts on regenerations sites, town and city centres etc.

Welsh government has announced that the new TAN 5 has been suspended until 01 June 2023 to allow “local planning authorities to fully consider the impact of the climate change projections on their respective areas”. See here for the full announcement. There is also a consequential change to he Development Management Procedure Order in respect of the consultation requirements.
