(4) For the purposes of section 16(9) of the Act, the circumstances in which the local authority may reject deposited plans on the grounds referred to in section 16(9)(i) or (ii) are where—

(b)paragraph A3 of that Schedule applies to the work shown in the plans; and
(c)the certificate does not contain a declaration that the person giving the certificate does not, and will not until the work is complete, have a professional or financial interest in the work.
(5) The provisions of regulation 9(1) to (4) shall have effect for the purpose of determining whether a person has a professional or financial interest in the work shown in the plans as if references in those provisions to approved inspectors were references to persons approved for the purposes of section 16(9) of the Act.
