(5)Subject to the following provisions of this section, the grantor of a licence in which standard conditions would, but for this subsection, be incorporated in accordance with subsection (3) may exclude or modify any of those standard conditions, to such extent as the grantor may consider requisite to meet the circumstances of a particular case.
(6)Before excluding any standard conditions or making any modifications under subsection (5), the grantor must give notice—

(b)stating the reasons why the grantor proposes to exclude the conditions or make the modifications, and
(c)specifying the time (which must not be less than 28 days from the date of publication of the notice) within which representations or objections with respect to the proposed exclusions or modifications may be made,
and must consider any representations or objections which are duly made and not withdrawn.
(7)A notice under subsection (6) must be given—
(a)by publishing the notice in whatever manner the grantor considers appropriate for the purpose of bringing the notice to the attention of persons likely to be affected by the making of the exclusions or modifications, and
(b)by sending a copy of the notice to the appropriate devolved authorities (if any) and the Secretary of State.
(8)The grantor must not exclude any conditions, or make any modifications, under subsection (5) unless the grantor is of the opinion that the exclusions or modifications are such that—

(a)each exclusion or modification,

(12)For the purposes of this section the “appropriate devolved authorities” are—
(a)the Welsh Ministers, if provision making the exclusions and modifications proposed in the notice under subsection (6) would be within the legislative competence of Senedd Cymru if it were contained in an Act of the Senedd (ignoring any requirement for the consent of a Minister of the Crown imposed under Schedule 7B to the Government of Wales Act 2006);
(b)the Scottish Ministers, if provision making the exclusions and modifications proposed in that notice would be within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament if it were contained in an Act of that Parliament;

(i)would be within the legislative competence of the Northern Ireland Assembly if it were contained in an Act of that Assembly, and

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
