General duty to inform the public of the provisions of draft maps

5.—(1) The Council must consider and give effect to such steps as are reasonable in order to inform the public of the provisions of draft maps and must in particular consider the desirability of:

(a)making available, so far as is practicable, information equivalent to that shown on draft maps by means of smaller scale maps published on any website it maintains on the internet; and

(b)bringing to the attention of those appearing to have an interest in land shown as section 4(2) land on a draft map, by whatever means are appropriate, the fact that such map has been issued and where it can be inspected.

(2) The duty imposed by paragraph (1) is to be without prejudice to the duties of the Council under regulation 4 but any failure on the part of the Council to discharge the duty imposed by paragraph (1) in relation to a draft map is not to invalidate the issue of that draft map by the Council or any other action required to be taken by the Council under these Regulations.
