PART 2PROCEDURE FOR DISCHARGE OF REQUIREMENTS

Further information

schedule 2 paragraph 31 + 31.—(1) In relation to any part of an application made under this Schedule, the discharging authority has the right to request such further information from the undertaker as is necessary to enable it to consider the application.

(2) In the event that the discharging authority considers such further information to be necessary the discharging authority must, as soon as reasonably practicable and 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.

(3) In the event that the discharging authority does not give such notification within that 20 business day period it 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.

(4) Where further information is requested under this paragraph in relation to part only of an application, that part is to be treated as separate from the remainder of the application for the purposes of calculating the time periods referred to in paragraph 29 (applications made under requirements) and in this paragraph.
