(1) Where an application for a property scheme has been made, the applicant and the non-applicant party may, by a notice served by them jointly on the Authority— (a) restrict the property, rights and liabilities in relation to which provision of a kind mentioned in paragraph 1(2) is proposed, or (b) withdraw the application. (2) Where a notice is served under sub-paragraph (1) the Authority must serve a copy of the notice on any person served with a notice in relation to the application under paragraph 7(1) or 9(8). (3) A notice may be served under sub-paragraph (1) at any time before a property scheme is made in response to the application. (4) If, at any time, a notice specifying the preferred bidder, in relation to a tender exercise, is withdrawn under paragraph 35, any application for a property scheme previously made, in relation to that exercise, by the preferred bidder or by the asset owner (unless previously withdrawn under sub-paragraph (1)) is treated as withdrawn at that time.

(7) Those persons are— (a) the Authority; (b) any third party affected by a provision of the proposed property scheme. (8) A determination under sub-paragraph (6) must be made on the basis of what is just in all the circumstances of the case. (9) The Authority must serve notice of a direction given under sub-paragraph (6) on— (a) the applicant (if not the recipient of the direction), (b) the non-applicant party (if not the recipient of the direction), and (c) any person served with a notice in relation to the application under paragraph 7(1) or 9(8).
