(3) A licence shall not be granted for a use of land, plant or equipment for which planning permission is required under the [F1Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011] or consent under the[F2 Water (Northern Ireland) Order 1999] is required unless such planning permission is in force or such consent has been granted in relation to that use of the land.

(b)harm to human health; or
(c)serious detriment to the amenities of the locality;
but sub-paragraph (c) is inapplicable where planning permission is in force in relation to the use to which the land will be put under the licence.
