  1. The changes relate to the submission of documents and where an order making authority takes a neutral stance. It has been amended to make it clear :- 鈥 how we expect to receive documents i.e. following the numbering in the checklist in the 鈥楧oc.ref鈥 column and with an index of all documents. 鈥 it is essential they supply the name and address of the applicant if they are not supporting the order. 鈥 if they are not supporting the order to confirm they have arranged for a person to present the case for the order instead and provide them with the document index, if not why. 鈥 that regardless of their stance, it is their order, and they are responsible for organising the event, placing notices on site, providing support for the Inspector at the event etc. 鈥 what to do when taking a neutral stance later in the process.
