EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation)

They also provide for the new appeals procedure provided in the Forestry Act 2014 concerning decisions in relation to section 7 of the Forestry Act, Forest Consent and Assessment and Aerial Fertilisation (Forestry) applications. Enactment of these Regulations will allow appeals in relation to those approvals to be dealt with by the new Forestry Appeals Committee.
