The local legislation is also based upon national (UK), Welsh and regional (e.g.: North Wales) government planning guidance in the form of planning policy guidelines (PPG's) and welsh planning policy guidelines (PPG(w)'s)(which are supplemented by the more in-depth welsh technical advice notes (TAN's)). The regional, provincial and national pieces of legislation act as templates for local legislation which may take into account local views or the expected level of pollution or urbanisation in the local areas.
The environmental health departments have no legal powers of control over light pollution though may investigate cases. This means that the problem is best tackled at the planning level.
