(5)Condition D is that as a consequence of the disposal (taken together with any related disposals) the landowner and each of the co-owners become—
(a)in a case falling within subsection (2)(a), the sole owner of part of the holding, or
(b)in a case falling within subsection (2)(b), the sole owner of one or more of the holdings.
(6)Condition E is that the acquired interest is not an interest in excluded land (see section 248C).
