Every urban authority may, and if required by the Minister shall, make byelaws with respect to the trade or business of fish frying carried on on or in any premises or streets within their district, in order to prevent any noxious or injurious effects of the trade or business.

Without prejudice to the provisions of the preceding subsection, an urban authority, in order to prevent or diminish any noxious or injurious effects of the trade, business or manufacture in question, may make byelaws—

with respect to any trade, business or manufacture being a trade, business or manufacture which as respects their district or any part thereof is an offensive trade within the meaning of the last preceding section, established on premises within their district, or, as the case may be, that part thereof, either with or without their consent and either before or after the commencement of this Act;
with respect to any trade or business carried on in streets within their district, or any part thereof, being a trade or business, which as respects their district, or, as the case may be, that part thereof, is an offensive trade within the meaning of the last preceding section.

If immediately before the commencement of this Act section one hundred and thirteen of the Public Health Act, 1875, was in force in, or in any contributory place in, the district of a rural authority, the foregoing provisions of this section shall apply to that authority as regards their district, or, as the case may be, as regards that contributory place.

A local authority who propose to apply to the Minister for confirmation of any byelaws made under this section shall, in addition to complying with the requirements of section two hundred and fifty of the Local Government Act, 1933, publish in the London Gazette at least one month before the application is made notice of their intention to apply for confirmation.
