(b) in a case where an initial notice was given in relation to the work by an approved inspector then for so long as the initial notice continues in force—

(ii) Parts 2 to 6 of these Regulations continue not to apply to that work, and
(iii) the 2010 Regulations and the Building (Approved Inspectors etc.) Regulations 2010 continue to apply to the work, but subject to Part 4 (transitional, supplementary and saving provisions) of the Building Regulations etc. (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2023 and Part 4 (transitional, supplementary and saving provisions) of the Building (Approved Inspectors etc. and Review of Decisions) (England) Regulations 2023.
