3. The appropriate UK plant health authority must by notice and without delay demarcate an area in relation to the infestation consisting of—
(a)the infested zone (being the area in which the plant pest was found to be present); and
(b)a buffer zone around the infested zone.
4. The buffer zone must have a diameter of at least 20 km, which may be reduced to 6 km, if the eradication measures referred to in paragraph 9 are being taken and the appropriate UK plant health authority considers that the reduction will not jeopardise the effectiveness of the eradication measures.
5. Where the plant pest is found to be present in the buffer zone and eradication measures are not being taken in the demarcated area, the appropriate UK plant health authority must demarcate a further area in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 4 to take account of that finding.
6. Where the plant pest is found to be present in the buffer zone and eradication measures are being taken in the demarcated area, the appropriate UK plant health authority must either demarcate a further area or amend the original demarcated area in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 4 to take account of that finding.
7. This Part does not apply in so far as any part of the area to be demarcated would be in Scotland.
