Paragraph 33 Applications made under requirements
Where an application has been made to the discharging authority for any agreement or approval required pursuant to a requirement included in this Order, the discharging authority must give notice to the undertaker of their decision, including the reasons, on the application, within a period of 8 weeks beginning with—
the day immediately following that on which the application is received by the discharging authority;
where further information is requested under paragraph 35, the day immediately following that on which further information has been supplied by the undertaker; or
such longer period as may be agreed by the undertaker and the discharging authority.
In determining any application made to the discharging authority for any consent, agreement or approval required by a requirement contained in Part 3 of Schedule 1 (requirements) to this Order, the discharging authority may—
give or refuse its consent, agreement or approval; or
give its consent, agreement or approval either subject to reasonable conditions, or unconditionally,
and when consent, agreement or approval is refused or granted subject to conditions the discharging authority must provide its reasons for that decision with notice of the decision.
In the event that the discharging authority does not determine an application within the period set out in sub-paragraph (1), the discharging authority is to be taken to have granted all parts of the application (without any condition or qualification) at the end of that period.
