Amendments 59 and 61 provide definitions of the code of construction practice and the local construction code that are provided for in amendment 50.The standards of mitigation that are set out in those documents and in subsequent local construction plans will now have to be applied by contractors.
A local authority could also introduce a strict code of practice in its area, restricting when fireworks could be sold and making it clear that anyone applying for a licence would be expected to abide by that code.
As Mr Manning said, it is in everybody's best interests that the code is laid out and that no stop notices are imposed on the works as long as the contractor follows the proposed code.
