Where the Board has determined an application to which regulation 6(4) applies, the applicant or any person mentioned in paragraph 1(1)(c) or 1(2)(c) may appeal against the decision of the Board on the application, and notice of any such appeal shall be received by the Board within 21 days from the date on which notification of the Board's decision was sent to him.

Where the Board has determined an application to which regulation 6(9) applies, the applicant or any person who was given notice of the application under paragraph 1(1)(c) or 1(2)(c) and who has made representations to the Board in accordance with paragraph 1 (1) or 1 (2) may appeal against the decision of the Board on the application, and notice of any such appeal shall be received by the Board within 21 days from the date on which notification of the Board's decision was sent to him.

Any notice of appeal under this paragraph shall contain a concise statement of the facts and contentions upon which the appellant intends to rely.

The Board shall refer a notice of appeal under this paragraph to the chairman of the National Appeal Panel appointed in accordance with Part IV.

If the chairman of the National Appeal Panel, after considering the notice of appeal, is of the opinion that the notice discloses no reasonable grounds of appeal or that the appeal is otherwise vexatious or frivolous, he may determine the appeal by dismissing it forthwith, in which case he shall notify the Board accordingly.

In any other case the National Appeal Panel shall be convened in accordance with Part IV and shall thereafter determine the appeal.
