The Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2023 and Supporting Regulations

The Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2023 and supporting regulations comes into full effect on 4th November 2024.

The existing legal framework for the management and protection of the Welsh historic environment — principally the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 and the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 — is replaced and the 2023 Act and its associated regulations provides the country with fully bilingual law that is logically structured, consistent and expressed, as far as possible, in plain, everyday language. While the new legislation makes it easier for everyone to find, understand and apply the law, it makes no changes to the way in which the Welsh historic environment is currently managed and protected.
