The Highways Noise Payments (Movable Homes) (Wales) Regulations 2001
These Regulations give highway authorities the power to make payments of up to £1,650 to the occupiers of movable homes such as caravans and house-boats where they are affected or are likely to be affected, to a significant degree, by noise caused by the construction or use of new or altered roads. The power to make Regulations authorising such payments is under Section 20A of the Land Compensation Act 1973, inserted by paragraph 5(1) of Schedule 15 to the Planning and Compensation Act 1991. The power to make payments under these Regulations is parallel to the duty to provide noise insulation in buildings or to make grant payments instead, under the Noise Insulation Regulations 1975 (S.I. 1975/1763 as amended by S.I. 1988/2000). For practical reasons those provisions cannot be applied to movable homes.
