Where the notice under paragraph (1) is given by someone on behalf of the client, it must include a statement signed by the client confirming they agree to the notice being given and that the information contained in the application is correct.
Where the building control authority receives a notice under paragraph (1), it must determine whether to grant the variation within—

Where the building control authority has not determined whether to grant the variation before the end of the period provided for in paragraph (4) the variation is treated as refused by the building control authority.
Where a requirement is varied the building control authority must give the client a notice setting out the requirement as varied.
Where the building control authority does not agree to the variation it must notify the client giving reasons.
