(3) Where, pursuant to paragraph (2), an authority has deferred a decision on any proposals, it may subsequently deal with those proposals in any way permitted by that paragraph.
(4) Where an order is made or proposed to be made in part by virtue of this regulation, Parts II and III of these Regulations shall apply to it as if the procedural steps previously taken under these Regulations, and any notices published or instruments prepared under them, in connection with the order as originally proposed had related only to the provisions of the order as made or proposed to be made in part.
(5) The notice of making published, or any notification under regulation 17(3) given, on the making of an order by virtue of this regulation shall—

(4) If, in relation to a revocation order, it is not practicable for the order making authority to comply with the requirements of paragraphs (2) and (3) of regulation 17 within the time specified in those paragraphs but the authority complies with those requirements as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, it shall be taken to have complied with those paragraphs.

(ii)must not come into force before the date allowed by regulation 16(3); and
