the undertaker may refer the matter to an expert for determination under paragraph 160.
Where the matter is referred to an expert under F1paragraph 160(2) the expert is to determine whether or not authorisation should be given and, if so, the conditions which should reasonably be attached to the authorisation under sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of paragraph 146(1).
