that an application for admission to the premises would defeat the object of the proposed entry.

A sheriff or justice must not issue a warrant under this schedule by virtue only of being satisfied that a condition specified in sub-paragraph (2)(a) or (b) is fulfilled unless the sheriff or justice is also satisfied—
a
that notice of the intention to apply for the warrant has been given to the occupier of the premises, or
b
that the giving of such notice would defeat the object of the proposed entry.
4
A warrant under this schedule continues in force until the purposes for which the warrant was issued have been fulfilled.
