(2) The Minister must give the licensee at least 30 days’ notice, in writing, of the Minister’s intention to withdraw approval of the plan. (3) The Minister may give a copy of the notice to such other persons (if any) as the Minister thinks fit. (4) The Minister must specify in the notice a day by which the licensee (or any other person to whom a copy of the notice has been given) may submit to the Minister, in writing, any matters for the Minister to take into account in deciding whether to withdraw approval of the plan. (5) In deciding whether to withdraw approval of the plan, the Minister must take into account: (a) any action taken by the licensee to remove the ground for withdrawal of approval, or to prevent the recurrence of that ground; and (b) any matter submitted to the Minister before the day specified in the notice by: (i) the licensee; or (ii) if another person is given a copy of the notice under subsection (3)—that other person.
