Welsh Statutory Instrument
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.

United Kingdom Statutory Instrument
Section 69 of the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (c.24) made amendments to section 47 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. As a consequence some references to section 47 in other legislation are redundant and this Order deletes them. No impact assessment has been prepared for this Order as its sole purpose is to remove references to legislation which are no longer required.

United Kingdom Statutory Instrument
Section 20A of the Land Compensation Act 1973, inserted by paragraph 5(1) of Schedule 15 to the Planning and Compensation Act 1991, enables Regulations to be made providing for payments to persons living in caravans and other structures which are not buildings which are, or are likely to be, affected by noise caused by the construction or use of public works. Such dwellings do not qualify for noise insulation or grant under the Noise Insulation Regulations 1975 (S.I. 1975/1763 amended by S.I. 1988/2000), but these Regulations empower a noise payment to be made where qualifying conditions are met, to the occupier of a caravan or movable home by the appropriate highway authority, of £1,650 specified in the Regulations. The memorandum entitled “Calculation of Road Traffic Noise” published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office (1988) may be obtained from the Stationery Office, National Publishing, 3rd Floor, St Crispins, Duke Street, Norwich NR3 1PD (telephone number: 0870 600 5522).
