You could also call this:

"Telling people affected by your application"

When you apply for an enforcement order, you must tell every person who will be directly affected by your application. You do this by serving them a notice in a special form. You can find out more about when you do not have to do this in section 320. You must serve the notice within 5 working days after you make your application to the Environment Court. The notice must be in the prescribed form and given to every person directly affected by your application.
