(b)where no such proposals have been implemented in relation to the school before the fourth anniversary of the date on which the current instrument of government for the school was made, that anniversary; and

(c)where a relevant event has previously occurred in relation to the school, the fourth anniversary of the latest such event.

(3)Proposals fall within this subsection if they provide for an increase in the number of registered pupils at the school and are—

(a)proposals under section 35(1)(c) or (d) (alteration of character or premises of a county school or transfer to a new site) or proposals which would fall to be published under section 35(1)(d) but for section 35(2)(b);
