There are two things. On page 219, section 98(4) is about where they have not made a decision and it reads “Where the planning authority fails to make a decision under section 95 in relation to an application ... within the relevant period (or such longer period as the applicant may consent to in accordance ... it shall notify the applicant thereof as soon as may be”. Section 98(4)(b) follows on from that with “identifying the additional period required by the planning authority to make a decision in relation to the application (which shall not exceed 4 weeks from the expiration of the relevant period)” It could be more than four weeks on the basis of when that is assessed but it states it shall not exceed four weeks.

Let me get this because there is another provision-----
