Regulation 7 Revocation and modification of authorisations
Subject to paragraphs (2) to (5), the Secretary of State or a local authority may at any time modify or revoke an authorisation (whether or not the authorisation is expressed to be granted for a specified period); and regulations 4 to 6 shall apply with suitable adaptations in relation to the modification of an authorisation.
The Secretary of State or a local authority shall not revoke or modify an authorisation without giving at least six months' notice of his or, as the case may be, of the authority’s intention to do so by–
serving notice of the revocation or modification on any relevant person on whose application the authorisation was granted;
publishing a notice of the revocation or modification in such manner as the Secretary of State or, as the case may be, the authority, considers appropriate for bringing it to the attention of relevant persons; and
in the case of a modification or revocation by the Secretary of State, by serving a copy of the notice on the appropriate local authority,
but the Secretary of State or the local authority may revoke or modify an authorisation without notice if it appears to him or, as the case may be, that authority, that the immediate revocation or modification of the authorisation is required in the interests of public health.
In paragraph (2) “appropriate local authority” means any local authority whose area includes any premises in relation to which the authorisation applies.
A person on whose application an authorisation has been granted shall notify the Secretary of State or, as the case may be, the local authority as soon as he is aware that the circumstances which gave rise to the application for the authorisation cease to exist; and, notwithstanding paragraph (2), the Secretary of State or local authority shall thereupon revoke the authorisation.
Nothing in this regulation shall permit a local authority to modify or revoke an authorisation granted by the Secretary of State.
