“(5) The Authority shall not make any modifications of standard conditions under paragraph 1(c) unless—

(b)the Authority is of the opinion that—
(i)the effect of the standard conditions is such as to impose a burden affecting relevant licence holders in the carrying out of activities to which the modifications relate;
(ii)the modifications would remove or reduce the burden without removing any necessary protection; and
(iii)the modifications are such that no relevant licence holder would be unduly disadvantaged in competing with other relevant licence holders.
