where there has been a change in circumstances such that the site or, within it, any place in which explosives are manufactured or stored which the licence or, as the case may be, registration relates to is no longer suitable for that manufacture or storage of explosives;
where it appears to the licensing authority on information obtained by it after the grant of the licence or registration that the licensee or registered person is not a fit person —
to store explosives, in the case of a registered person or a person licensed to store explosives; or
to manufacture explosives, in the case of a person licensed to manufacture explosives; F2or
by agreement with the licensee or registered person.
A person whose licence or registration is revoked shall ensure that —
all explosives are removed from a site as soon as is practicable after revocation of a licence or registration in respect of that site;
those explosives are deposited at a site which is the subject of a licence or registration which permits any storage resulting from that depositing, or suitable arrangements are made for those explosives to be disposed of; and
the licence or certificate of registration is returned to the licensing authority within 28 days of the date that the revocation takes effect pursuant to regulation 18(4).
