Paragraph 8

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

If SEPA fails to give notice of its determination of an application for a permit within the period allowed by or under paragraph 7, the application shall, if the applicant notifies SEPA in writing (or in electronic form acceptable to it) that the applicant treats the failure as such, be deemed to have been refused at the end of that period.
