In deciding whether premises are suitable and adequate premises on which to manufacture medicated feedingstuffs, the relevant authority shall take into account the matters specified in Schedule 3.

Where an application is made under regulation 3 in respect of a farm, the relevant authority may make the approval of the premises subject to such additional guarantees, if any, as it considers appropriate.
