Schedule 6: Appeals and other determinations Paragraph 5 – amendment of section 42
This paragraph amends section 42 in regard of appeals under section 20, 39 and 50 since the Secretary of State will no longer give a decision in these proceedings. It also removes references to section 16 (passing or rejection of plans), which is being repealed.
	The paragraph inserts a new subsection (A1) permitting appeals to the High Court on points of law in regard of Secretary of State decisions on relaxations of building regulations; this merely replicates the current position. The right of appeal is extended to applicants, local authorities, and registered building control approvers.
	Appeals will continue to be to the Welsh Ministers in Wales.
