The Secretary of State for Wales hereby gives notice that he has made an Order under section 247 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to authorise the stopping-up of the highway described in the Schedule to this notice.   The stopping-up is authorised only in order to enable development consisting of refurbishment to create an arts centre at the site of the Old Central Library to be carried out in accordance with planning permission granted by the County Council of the City and County of Cardiff on 10th December 1996 under Ref. 96/00006/C. The Order shall cease to have effect upon the cessation of the planning permission.   Copies of the Order and the deposited plan may be inspected, free of charge, during normal office hours at the office of The Planning Department, Cardiff County Council, Wood Street, Cardiff or may be obtained, free of charge, from the Welsh Office Highways Directorate, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF1 3NQ, (quoting Ref. ZC510-5-71-18).   If any person desires to question the validity of the Order, or of any provision contained therein on the grounds that it is not within the powers of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, or that his interests have been substantially prejudiced by a failure to comply with any of the requirements of the Act, he may, within 6 weeks of 1st May 1998, apply to the High Court for the suspension or quashing of the Order or of any provision contained therein.
