Commentary on Sections Part 2 Assessment, Registrati on and Monitoring of Disused Tips Overview Section 31 – Duty to compile and maintain list of all disused tips
119.Subsection (1) places a duty on the Authority to compile and maintain an electronic list of all disused tips which have undergone a preliminary assessment. This means that, in time, all disused tips in Wales will appear on the list, including those that do not meet the criteria for registration under section 7. In accordance with subsection (2), the Authority must include a disused tip in the list as soon as practical after completing the relevant preliminary assessment.
120.Subsection (3) prescribes that an entry in the list must include the name or names by which the tip is commonly known, the location of the tip and a unique identifier given by the Authority to the tip. Subsection (4) requires the Authority to publish the list. In accordance with section 72, where the Act requires the Authority to publish anything, this means it must be published on the Authority’s website (or other electronic facility) established and maintained under section 71, and may also be published in any other manner the Authority considers appropriate.
