The Order shall cease to have effect on cessation of these planning permissions.   The Order requires the provision of new highway which will be highway maintainable at the public expense, for which Powys County Council shall be the Highway Authority.   Copies of the Order and the deposited plan may be inspected, free of charge, during normal office hours at the offices of Powys County Council, County Hall, Llandrindod Wells, Powys or Walton Parish Hall, Walton, Powys, between 8.45 a.m. and 12.45 p.m., on Fridays, or may be obtained, free of charge, from the Welsh Office Highways Directorate, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF1 3NQ, (quoting reference ZC 510-5-6-6).   If any person desires to question the validity of the Order, or of any provision contained therein on the grounds:   (a) that it is not within the powers of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 or;   (b) 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 2nd January 1998, apply to the High Court for the suspension or quashing of the Order or of any provision contained therein.
