The County Council will publish an Order reflecting this decision in due course and a Notice will be erected on site and appear in the press. The Notice will give you details of how you can, if you wish, make a representation or object to the Order. If there are no objections within the prescribed period the Order can be confirmed. However, if there are objections the matter will be referred to the Secretary of State for determination, either by written representations, public hearing or public inquiry.
For a modification order, the tests are solely about whether the evidence does or does not justify the change to the definitive map contained in the order. The Secretary of State has the power to disregard irrelevant objections.
