(2) A notice served under sub-paragraph (1) shall—

(c) specify the period allowed for the purpose of paragraph 12 for making representations to the regulator relating to the condition or its possible effects and the manner in which any such representations are to be made.

(3) A person falls within this sub-paragraph if—

(a) he is the owner, lessee or occupier of land; and

(b) that land is land in relation to which it is likely that, as a consequence of the permit being issued subject to the off-site condition in question, rights will have to be granted by virtue of regulation 12(12) to the holder of the permit.
