Subparagraph (1) gives effect to the amendments made in subparagraphs (2) and (3) in paragraph 2 of Schedule 19.
	Subparagraph (2) makes amendments to paragraph 4A of Schedule 1 to the 1981 Act and sets out the circumstances in which a public local inquiry must be held.

Details of the representations procedure will be set out in secondary legislation. The procedure will allow remaining objectors to provide oral representations at a hearing if they wish to. It will also allow acquiring authorities and any other person who the confirming authority thinks appropriate to make representations in writing or at any hearing requested by a remaining objector.
	Subparagraph (3) makes consequential amendments to paragraph 4B of Schedule 1 to the 1981 Act to reflect the changes to paragraph 4A of Schedule 1 to the 1981 Act.
