Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The Extension of Duration application was lodged on 12th May 2023, which was after the expiry date of the parent permission (Ref. 18/2) on 8th April 2023.

- A site inspection conducted on 1st June 2023 confirmed that no substantial works had been carried out on-site, meaning the development does not satisfy the criteria for an extension under Section 42(1)(a)(i).
