4 Requirements to be inserted prior to notification of proposed district plans (1) Before a territorial authority publicly notifies a district plan under clause 5 , it shall, by written request, invite requiring authorities which have a designation in the district that has not lapsed to give written notice to the territorial authority stating whether the requiring authority requires the designation to be included in the proposed plan, with or without modification. (2) The written request shall give the requiring authority at least 30 working days to respond, and shall specify the final date for the requiring authority to provide its written notice.
