The notice must state the reasons why the modification is proposed. The notice must also specify the period, being not less than 28 days from the date on which the notice was given, within which the applicant may make representations to the licensing authority (subsection (5)). Where a licence is modified, a copy of the modified licence should be sent to the licence holder (subsection (6)).
