11.—(1) This regulation applies where the authority has revoked a storage permit under regulation 10(7).
(2) The authority must either—
(a)close the storage site; or

(3) Following the procedure under paragraph (2)(b)—
(a)if no new storage permit is granted, the authority must close the storage site (but the existing licence continues in force);
(b)if a new storage permit is granted, the existing licence terminates on the date of that grant.
(4) Until the storage site is closed, or the new storage permit is granted, the authority is deemed to be the operator of the site for the purposes of the following obligations—

(a)is deemed to be the operator of the storage site for the purposes of the obligations referred to in paragraph (4)(b) to (e); and
