Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether a determination was made by the Council within the 56-day statutory period or within any extended period agreed by the applicant and the authority in writing
- Whether prior approval should be given having regard to the conditions set out in section MA.2 of the GPDO
What decided it
The Council failed to provide a positive written expression of agreement to extend the statutory 56-day determination period, and therefore prior approval is deemed to be granted by operation of law.
