Part 9: Miscellaneous and general provisions Chapter 1: Miscellaneous Section 258: Approval of notices following review under section 257
This section makes provision for the IPC to decide whether to approve the Secretary of State’s decision to either vary a notice or give a notice confirming the effect of a notice.
	Subsection (2) requires the IPC to consider whether the notice as varied or confirmed by the Secretary of State is necessary and whether the conduct as varied is proportionate to what is sought to be achieved by that conduct. The test applied by the IPC is the same as a Judicial Commissioner would apply when deciding whether to approve the decision to give a notice.
