(c) confirmation that P, ARI and the current NRI consent to the intended transfer taking place on the transfer date.
(3) Where the Authority is notified of an intended transfer in accordance with paragraph (2)—
(a) it may require any of P, ARI, and the current NRI, to provide such other information as the Authority considers necessary to enable it to consider the intended transfer;
