A scheme may, in particular—

make different provision for different cases, including different provision in relation to different persons in different circumstances or localities;

b

allow for reduced charges payable in respect of permits granted to the same operator;

c

provide for the times at which and the manner in which the payments required by the scheme are to be made (subject to any requirements in these Regulations as to times at which payment is required); and

d

make such incidental, supplementary and transitional provisions as appear to the Secretary of State to be appropriate.

The Secretary of State must take such steps as the Secretary of State considers appropriate for bringing the provisions of a scheme which is for the time being in force to the attention of persons likely to be affected by it.
