Section 103 — Decision on application after service of notice of appeal
355.Section 103 sets out how an appeal must be dealt with if it relates to a planning authority’s failure to give notice by the end of the determination period as set out in section 100(3).
356.Subsection (2) prohibits the Welsh Ministers from determining the appeal before the end of a period which they specify in regulations (four weeks under the 2012 regulations). Subsection (3) allows the planning authority to give notice of its decision on the application at any time during the same period.
357.Subsections (4) and (5) provide that if the planning authority determines the application within that four-week period, the Welsh Ministers must give the appellant the opportunity to proceed with the appeal and revise the grounds if the application is refused or the consent is granted subject to conditions.
