37: Rules relating to restricted discretionary activities

You could also call this:

"Rules for activities that need special permission and have certain conditions"

Illustration for Natural Environment Bill

If a rule says an activity is restricted discretionary, it must say what the decision-maker can decide. A rule can have conditions for a restricted discretionary activity, but these conditions must relate to matters described in section 169. You need to know what section 169 says to understand what these conditions can be about.
