or “This law explains how someone can switch from an old permit to a new one for using coastal areas, and what they need to do when changing over.”

You could also call this:

“This rule explains how a special time extension works for coastal permits that are being argued about in court.”

This law talks about extending coastal permits that are being appealed. If you applied for a coastal permit before this law came into effect, and your application was turned down, you can still get the extension if you win your appeal. However, you can’t get the extension until all the appeals are finished. If your appeal fails or you decide to withdraw it, you won’t get the extension. This extension is explained in another part of the law called section 165ZFHC(1).
