(a)that any condition subject to which the approval was given or the grant has been paid, or any undertaking given in accordance with regulation 5(1), has not been complied with, or

(b)that any work, facility or transaction in respect of expenditure on which the approval was given has been badly done or provided, or has been or is being unreasonably delayed, or is unlikely to be completed, or

(c)that the person by whom the application for approval of the improvement plan or for the payment of grant was made gave information on any matter relevant to the giving of the approval or the making of the payment which was false or misleading in a material respect,
