If I submit an application for a licence and there is an eight-week timeline, and if a decision is not made within eight weeks there is a default grant. However, if the Planning Authority on the second last day of the eight weeks notifies me that under exceptional circumstances it is applying subsection (8)(d), it gets a further eight weeks.
