EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Control of Noise (Appeals) Regulations 1975 to remove provisions about appeals to the Secretary of State under sections 64 to 67 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974, due to the repeal of those sections by Part 5 of Schedule 13 to the Deregulation Act 2015. The amendments apply only to England.
