Order Modifications
Where it appears necessary for certain operational or other purposes, the Council, or any person authorised by them may modify or suspend the Order or any of its provisions whilst the Order is in force. In due course, the Council will consider whether or not the provisions of the Experimental Order should be continued in force indefinitely. Within a period of six months from the Order coming into force, (or if any or all of the Order provisions are varied or modified by another Order, from the date of that variation or modification Order, whichever is the latest), any person may object to the making of the Order to continue on a permanent basis.
