(1)A verifier must—

(ii)the requirement is no longer necessary for securing that the purposes of the provision of building regulations to which it relates are not frustrated,

(b)on an application made to it for variation of a continuing requirement imposed under that section, make the variation if satisfied that—

(i)the building in relation to which the requirement was imposed complies with building regulations (as they apply at the time of the application), and
