The Orders must be of a kind described in section 53A(1)(b) to (d) and of a description prescribed in regulations made under section 53A(1)(a). Without the insertion, and subsequent application, of section 53A of the 1981 Act, the required modifications to the definitive maps and statements can only be effected by means of a separate modification Order under section 53(2)(b) of the 1981 Act.",
