I move amendment No. 95:

In page 48, after line 37, to insert the following:

"Amendment to section 42

16. (1) Section 42 of the Act of 2000 is amended in subsection (1) by substituting "On application to it in that behalf a planning authority shall" for "On application to it in that behalf a planning authority may".

(2) Section 42 of the Act of 2000 is amended in subsection (1) by inserting the following after paragraph (d)—"(e) the planning authority has required the applicant to issue a notification in local newspapers circulating widely in the area of the proposed development, the application for extension of duration of the appropriate period, and indicating the public may make submissions on the application as if the application was being made in the first instance in accordance with section 176A of the Act of 2000,

(f) following notification by the planning authority to bodies prescribed under the Act of 2000 for a development of this type,

(g) following consideration by the planning authority of submissions and observations received under paragraphs (e) and (f) above and the application itself and a determination then of the application as if it was being considered for the first time under section 176A of the Act of 2000, and

(h) any such determination shall be notified as if it was determined for the first time, but stating clearly that the determination is in respect of an extension of the appropriate period, and shall also state how the determination may be appealed to the Board.".".
