4(1)Where the proper notices concerning an application for the grant of a pipe-line construction authorisation have been published and served under the last foregoing paragraph, and an objection to the application is duly made by a local planning authority within whose area the route to be taken by the proposed pipe-line or any part thereof will lie, and is not withdrawn, the Minister shall in no event grant the application without causing a public inquiry to be held with respect to the objection and considering the report of the person who held it; and where such notices as aforesaid have been so published and served and an objection to the application is duly made by a person other than a local planning authority, and is not withdrawn, the Minister shall in no event grant the application without either causing a public inquiry to be held with respect to the objection and considering the report of the person who held it or affording to the person making the objection an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed by the Minister for the purpose and considering the report of the person so appointed.
(2)The Minister may, if he thinks fit, cause a public inquiry to be held with respect to an application for the grant of a pipe-line construction authorisation notwithstanding that no objection to the application has been duly made by a local planning authority or that every objection duly so made has been withdrawn.
