  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Building (Approved Inspectors etc.) Regulation 1985 (the principal regulations) as a consequence of the Deregulation (Building) (Initial Notices and Final Certificates) Order 1996. That Order, amongst other things, provides for an amendment to an initial notice by way of an amendment notice.\nThese regulations amend the principal regulations by prescribing (as Form 1A) the form of amendment notice. They also prescribe the documents which must accompany an amendment notice and the grounds on which a local authority are required to reject such a notice and introduce in Regulation 8A the prescribed form of amendment notice which has the effect, once accepted by the local authority, of amending the initial notice.\nThese regulations also amend the principal regulations by providing in regulation 6(4) that a person who has been convicted of an offence and has had his approval withdrawn may not be given a further approval as an approved inspector for a period of five years beginning with the date of his conviction.",
