This is where an authority is regulating an activity in line with a statute covering England. Local authorities will need to tell BERR which of these it has adopted and which are not adopted (and any a local authority wishes to stop regulating). This includes confirming the division of effort in areas which have two tier of local authority. A questionnaire for this will circulate shortly.
BERR's online forms service will cover all these procedures. The online forms service will use prescribed or model forms or PARSOL standards as a basis wherever these are available. BERR is commissioning a consultancy to produce an acceptable standard form where none is presently available and these are flagged in the list with an asterisk.
