The transfer shall be subject to such conditions as the chief executive determines.
The chief executive may, in its discretion, refuse to transfer a licence and shall refuse if, in the opinion of the chief executive, the transfer would be contrary to, or not desirable in, the public interest.

shall issue another licence in respect of that part of the system to which the transfer does not relate or vary, alter or amend the existing licence so that it continues in force in respect only of that part of the system to which the transfer does not relate; and
shall issue a licence in respect of that part of the system to which the transfer relates.
