(b) in the prescribed period ending with the time when he applies for permission, he has made no other such application.

(4) IBB must not grant permission unless it thinks—

(b) that the change is such that permission should be granted.

(b) the date on which any criterion prescribed for the purposes of paragraph 1, 2, 7 or 8 is first satisfied;
