Section 24AS Power to Modify etc.
463.The power to modify contained in section 24AS complements that set out in section 24AA. It is intended to be used in circumstances where intelligence suggests that it would be proportionate and reasonable in all the circumstances to make an aerodrome exempt from some, or all, of the security planning provisions contained in the new Part 2A of the ASA. Any decision to use the power contained in this section would be based on all relevant considerations, including latest intelligence information and an assessment of local circumstances at the aerodrome in question.
