(1)

When a notice of appeal fully complying with paragraph 7 has been received within the specified time limits, the Secretary of State must as soon as practicable send a copy of the notice of appeal (except the documents specified in paragraph 7(2)) to Natural England.

(2)

In the case of an appeal relating to a management notice, the Secretary of State, when notifying Natural England, must also write to any section 28L(2) party enclosing a copy of the notice of appeal and explaining the effect of sub-sections (5) to (7) of section 28L of the 1981 Act.

(3)

If Natural England or the section 28L(2) party wish to exercise a right to be heard in connection with the appeal, rather than having it dealt with by way of written representations, a notice to that effect must reach the Secretary of State within two weeks of the date on which the copy of the notice of appeal was received from the Secretary of State.
