Regulation 7 Notice to, and representations by, third parties
The authority must, within a period of 7 days beginning with the starting date, serve notice on all third parties informing them of the appeal.
A notice under paragraph (1) must—
summarise the request to which the appeal relates, and the grounds of appeal;
contain the information specified in regulation 6;
inform third parties that they may, within a period of 21 days beginning with the starting date, submit representations to the appropriate Ministers in respect of the appeal;
state that the appropriate Ministers will copy those representations to the appellant and to the authority;
state that copies of any representations already submitted to the authority about the request (other than representations which were not taken into account because the maker requested they be treated as confidential) will be sent by the authority to the appropriate Ministers and the appellant.
A third party may submit representations in respect of the appeal to the appropriate Ministers within a period of 21 days beginning with the starting date.
The authority must send a copy of the representations referred to in paragraph (2)(e) to the appropriate Ministers and the appellant.
The appropriate Ministers must, on receipt of representations made pursuant to paragraph (3), at the same time send a copy of them to the appellant and to the authority.
