(3) Will you offer some other explanation

Mr Humphries - the answer to the member's question is as follows:

(1) Yes, an amendment to the application was made on 3 October 1995. A copy of that amendment is attached for the Member's information.

(2) There has been a number of extensions granted either under section 233 of the Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991 or Regulation 22(7) of the Land (Planning and Environment) Regulations.

(3) Yes. I am advised that the amended application was not placed on the Register due to an oversight by the action officer. However, had the person making the enquiry questioned whether an amendment had been made, a cursory check of the file would have revealed that to be the case. Nevertheless, I acknowledge that there is a legal requirement for the Register to be maintained and I have instructed the staff of the Planning and Land Management Group to ensure that the public register is maintained in accordance with the provisions of the legislation at all times.
