93F: Form and manner of presentation of consultation document

You could also call this:

“How your council should create and show you important documents”

When your local authority creates a consultation document, they must make sure it’s presented in a way that helps it do its job properly. This means they need to think carefully about how they put the information together and show it to you. The goal is to make sure you can understand and use the document easily. They should choose a style and format that makes the document’s purpose clear and effective.
