Regulation 7 Objections

Before the end of the objection period mentioned in paragraph (3), any person may object to the making of the designation (any person making any such objection being hereinafter referred to as an “objector”).

Any objection made under paragraph (1) shall contain a written statement of the grounds of the objection and shall be sent to the address specified in the notice of proposals published in accordance with regulation 6(a).

The objection period shall be such period of not less than 42 days from the date on which the relevant notice of proposals is published under regulation 6(a) as may be specified in that notice.

If no objections have been made by the end of the objection period, or any objections made have been withdrawn by that date, the authority may proceed to make the designation of the relevant road.
