  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Town and Country Planning (Appeals) (Written Representations Procedure) (England) Regulations 2009 (“the 2009 Regulations”) and the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 (“the 2015 Order”).\nThe amendments expand the scope of the expedited written representations appeals procedure in Part 1 of the 2009 Regulations. This procedure will now be used to determine the majority of appeals made under section 78(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (“the 1990 Act”). The Secretary of State may, where appropriate, transfer an appeal from the Part 1 procedure and deal with it under the procedure set out in Part 2 of the 2009 Regulations. Amendments to the 2015 Order are required for the expansion of the expedited written representations appeals procedure. They update the list of documents required to be lodged with planning appeals made under section 78(1) of the 1990 Act.\nA full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business, the voluntary sector and the public sector is available at www.legislation.gov.uk, or copies may be requested from the Planning Directorate, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, 2 Marsham Street, London SW1P 4DF.",
