enter or board any place; and

An inspector must not enter or board a place, or exercise a power under subsection (1), unless—
the occupier of the place (if any) consents to the entry or boarding or exercise of the power; or
a warrant under section 25 authorises the entry or exercise of the power; or
the place is premises, or that part of premises, to which the public are admitted (whether or not for consideration) and the entry is made when members of the public attend or the premises are open for admission by the public.
