382: Existing direction deemed to be excessive noise direction
or “Old rules about loud noises will still work under the new law”
You could also call this:

“Rules for getting back noisy stuff taken by the police before the new law started”

If someone took your things because they were too noisy under the old Noise Control Act 1982, and you didn’t get them back before the new law started, don’t worry. Your stuff is now treated as if it was taken under section 328 of the new law. This means the new rules about getting your things back will apply to you. It’s like the old law and the new law are working together to make sure you can still get your property back.
