Regulation 9 Variations of fee and access plansI1

A governing body may apply to HEFCW for approval of a variation to the approved plan whilst the approved plan is in force.

A variation to an approved plan is to take effect only if approved in writing by HEFCW.

In making any determination in respect of approval or rejection of a variation to the approved plan HEFCW must take into account the matters set out in regulation 7(a) to (d).

Where HEFCW have approved a variation to an approved plan the governing body must comply with regulation 8 as if in that regulation the words “fee and access plan” were substituted by “variation”.
