Part II Variation by Order

3 Where the Countryside Commission has received a proposal from the Authority that the area which constitutes the Broads (for the purposes of this Act) should be varied, it shall consider the proposal and either reject it or conduct a review under this Schedule.

4 Where the Commission conducts a review under this Schedule it shall take such steps as it considers appropriate to secure that those persons who appear to it to have an interest in the proposal being reviewed—

(b) are given an opportunity to make representations on it within such a reasonable period as may be specified by the Commission.

5 The Commission shall have regard to any representations duly made to it under paragraph 4 above.

6 Where, following the review of any proposal under this Schedule, the Commission considers that the proposal should be adopted (either as originally made or as modified by the Commission in consequence of its review), it may notify the Secretary of State to that effect.

7 The Secretary of State may by order give effect to any proposal of which he is notified by the Commission under paragraph 6 above; and in doing so the Secretary of State may modify the proposed variation in such manner as he thinks fit.
