92B: Responses to notification

You could also call this:

“How people answer when asked about their plans for a project”

If you apply for something and receive a notification under section 92(2)(b), you need to respond within 15 working days. You must tell the consent authority in writing if you agree to have a report made.

Even if you don’t respond in time or if you say no to having the report made, the consent authority will still look at your application under section 104.
