(5)On the grant of an application for the transfer of a premises licence the licensing authority—
(a)shall alter the licence so that the applicant for the transfer becomes the licensee,
(b)shall specify in the licence the time when the transfer takes effect (being either the time specified in the application under subsection (3) above or, if later, the time when the application is granted), and
(c)shall make such other alteration of the licence as appears to them to be required (which may, in particular, include an alteration to reflect a decision of the authority under section 169 as applied by subsection (2) above to make new or varied provision for the attachment or exclusion of conditions).
(6)A licence to which a condition is attached under section 169 for the purpose of giving effect to an agreement entered into under paragraph 5(3)(b) of Schedule 9 (“the original agreement”) shall not be transferred unless—
