Paragraph 39 Further informationI1

In relation to any part of an application made under this Schedule, the relevant planning authority has the right to request such further information from the undertaker as is necessary to enable the relevant planning authority to consider the application.

In the event that the relevant planning authority considers such further information to be necessary, the relevant planning authority must, within 20 business days of receipt of the application, notify the undertaker in writing specifying the further information required and (if applicable) to which part of the application it relates. In the event that the relevant planning authority does not give such notification within this 20 day period the relevant planning authority is 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.

Where further information is requested under this paragraph in relation to part only of an application, that part is treated as separate from the remainder of the application for the purposes of calculating the time periods referred to in paragraph 38 (applications made under requirements) and in this paragraph.
