30. An application for inclusion in a pharmaceutical list by a person not already included must be refused if the applicant is an individual (X) who qualified as a pharmacist in Switzerland or an EEA state other than the United Kingdom, unless X satisfies the NHSCB that X has the level of knowledge of English which, in the interests of X and the persons making use of the services to which the application relates, is necessary for the provision of those services in the area of the relevant HWB.
31.—[F1(1) A routine or excepted application[F2, other than a consolidation application,] must be refused where paragraph (2) applies.]

(i)the premises to which the application relates, or
(ii)adjacent premises; and
(b)the NHSCB is satisfied that it is reasonable to treat the services that the applicant proposes to provide as part of the same service as the existing services (and so the premises to which the application relates and the existing listed chemist premises should be treated as the same site).
