77C: Certain activities to be treated as discretionary activities or prohibited activities
or “Rules about activities that need special permission or are not allowed at all”
You could also call this:

“Rules about telling people when someone wants to do something that needs permission”

You can make rules about when people need to be told about requests to use resources. These rules say when the authorities must tell everyone about a request, when they can’t tell everyone, and when they can’t tell just some people.

If you want to do something that needs permission, the local authority can make rules about who needs to know. They can say when they have to tell everyone about your request. They can also say when they’re not allowed to tell everyone. Sometimes, they might even say when they can’t tell just a few people about your request.

These rules help decide who gets to know about requests to use resources in your area. They make sure the right people are told at the right time.
