56.A direction made by the Welsh Ministers under these sections can be given at the request of a developer or without such a request being made. The Welsh Ministers are not required to consider a request for a direction unless it is a “qualifying request” from a developer. A “qualifying request” is a request in writing for a direction that specifies the development to which it relates. After making a decision on a qualifying request, the Welsh Ministers must give reasons for their decision to the person who made the request.
