(ii)granting the application would not result in a significant change in the arrangements for the provision of pharmaceutical or dispensing services to any part of the controlled locality in which the new premises are located; or
(b)in any other case determine the application as an application for premises approval made under regulation 24(1)(b).
(7) A Local Health Board must, unless it has good cause not to do so, refuse an application under paragraph (1) or (4) if an application made by the doctor has been granted under paragraph (6)(a) during the twelve months before the application was submitted under paragraph (1) or (4).
