Regulation 5

To avoid doubt, every aquatic facility licence granted under section 99(1) of the Act before 1 April 2026 continues in force on or after that date until the expiry or cancellation of the aquatic facility licence, whichever is earlier.

An application for an aquatic facility licence made under the principal Regulations as in force immediately before 1 April 2026 that is still pending on that date is to be treated as an application for the grant of an aquatic facility licence under regulation 3, read with regulations 3A and 3B, of the principal Regulations as in force on that date.

An application to renew an aquatic facility licence made under the principal Regulations as in force immediately before 1 April 2026 that is still pending on that date is to be treated as an application for the renewal of an aquatic facility licence under regulation 3, read with regulation 3A, of the principal Regulations as in force on that date, but regulation 3B of the principal Regulations as in force on that date does not apply.
