Consideration and approval of applications5.

(1)

As soon as reasonably practicable after the appropriate closing date, the Scottish Ministers must—

(a)

approve or reject any application made to them;

(b)

if an application is approved, determine the conditions, if any, for payment of the grant; and

(c)

notify the applicant in writing of the decision and (if appropriate) any conditions which they have determined under sub-paragraph (1)(b).

(2)

Without prejudice to the generality of sub-paragraph (1)(b), a condition may be determined which requires the applicant to provide such undertakings as the Scottish Ministers may consider appropriate to an application.
