(b)such other area as the Chief Veterinary Officer may decide having regard to epidemiological, geographical, ecological and meteorological factors.

(2) Such notice must require the occupier to comply with the requirements set out in article 8(1) and may impose requirements in accordance with article 9(3) and with any other requirements which the inspector considers necessary.
