This section applies if the chief inspector considers it is desirable to amend an authority in the interests of the effective administration of this Act. Before amending the authority, the chief inspector must give the authority holder a written notice stating— the proposed amendment; and the reasons for the amendment; and that the holder may show, within a stated reasonable time of at least 28 days after the notice is given to the holder, why the amendment should not be made. If, after considering all representations made within the stated time, the chief inspector still believes the authority should be amended, the chief inspector may amend the authority— in the way proposed; or in another way, having regard to the representations. The chief inspector must inform the authority holder of the decision by written notice.
