Paragraph 2 Further information

In relation to any application to which this Schedule applies, the discharging authority has the right to request such further information from the undertaker as is reasonably necessary to enable it to consider the application.

If the discharging authority considers such further information to be necessary it must, as soon as reasonably practicable and within 28 days of receipt of the application notify the undertaker in writing specifying the further information required.

If the discharging authority does not give such notification as specified in sub-paragraph (2) it is to be deemed to have sufficient information to consider the application and is not subsequently entitled to request further information without the prior agreement of the undertaker.

A discharging authority may request further information under sub-paragraph (1) on more than one occasion provided that all such requests are made within the period specified by sub-paragraph (2).
