5.—(1) The authority may grant approval only if it is satisfied—
(a)that the application has been made in accordance with these Regulations;
(b)that the premises fulfil the requirements set out in Schedule 1; and
(c)that the premises fulfil any other reasonable requirements which the authority considers appropriate to ensure that the facilities provided at the premises are suitable.
(2) The authority may refuse to grant approval if, notwithstanding that it is satisfied as to the matters set out in paragraph (1), it considers, having regard to the number of other approved premises in its area, that the superintendent registrar and a registrar(1) or a civil partnership registrar(2) as the case may be, are unlikely to be available regularly to attend proceedings on the premises.

(4) If approval is refused, or conditions other than those specified in Schedule 2 are attached to the approval, or approval is granted after a person has given notice of objection in accordance with regulation 4(2)(c), the authority shall set out in any notification given under paragraph (3) its reasons for reaching that decision.
(5) If approval is refused or conditions other than those specified in Schedule 2 are attached to the approval, the authority shall notify the applicant of the right to seek a review of its decision under regulation 9.
