Overlapping applications

24 Procedure in event of overlapping applications to both statutory person or body and Authority for same activity

(1)

If an applicant lodges an application for an approval under section 21(b) that is the same, or substantially the same, as an application already lodged with a statutory person or body,—

(a)

the Authority must proceed to make—

(i)

the preliminary determination under section 25 or 26; and

(ii)

the determination referred to in subsection (2); and

(b)

if the Authority is satisfied that the application meets the criteria of subsection (2) and, to the extent relevant, the criteria of section 25(3),—

(i)

the Authority must proceed to deal with the application under Part 3; and

(ii)

the application to the relevant statutory person or body is to be treated as having been withdrawn from the relevant statutory person or body and must be transferred to the Authority in accordance with regulations made under this Act.

(2)

In determining whether an application is the same or substantially the same as the application lodged with the relevant statutory person or body, the Authority must take into account—

(a)

the duration of the activity or facility proposed in each application; and

(b)

any other matters the Authority considers relevant in the circumstances.

(3)

If the Authority proceeds to determine an application to which this section applies, it must notify the relevant statutory person or body that it is doing so.

(4)

If notice is given under subsection (3), the relevant statutory person or body must, without delay,—

(a)

forward a copy of all documentation it holds on the application to the Authority; and

(b)

cease to process the application.

(5)

However, if the Authority declines to grant an approval under this Part, the relevant statutory person or body must, if requested to do so by the applicant, reinstate the application and proceed to determine it as if the application had not been transferred to the Authority.

(6)

If subsection (5) applies,—

(a)

the application and documentation held by the Authority in relation to the application must be transferred without delay to the relevant statutory person or body; and

(b)

the statutory time limits applying to the relevant statutory person or body recommence from the date that the statutory body or person receives the documentation.

(7)

If the relevant statutory person or body is requested to reinstate and determine the application under subsection (5),—

(a)

it must treat the decision and reasons of the Authority as irrelevant for the purposes of the decision on the application; but

(b)

it may have regard to any other relevant information that is transferred under subsection (6)(a).

Subpart 2—Jurisdiction, public notification, and making of submissions

Preliminary question of jurisdiction

25 Preliminary consideration of applications

(1)

The Authority must determine, in relation to every application made under subpart 1, whether the application meets the criteria set out in subsection (3).

(2)

Before making that decision the Authority may request further information from the applicant, if it is satisfied that provision of the information will, in the circumstances, assist in the fair and timely determination of the application.

Criteria

(3)

The Authority must be satisfied that—

(a)

the application relates to an activity or facility that is reasonably necessary for the proper conduct of, as the case may be,—

(i)

the Rugby World Cup 2011; or

(ii)

a test event; and

(b)

the applicant has undertaken all reasonably practicable measures to ensure that the necessary approval, declaration, test approval or declaration, or change to the conditions was obtained under the enactment or statutory planning instrument that would have applied, but for this Part, or that the application could not reasonably have been made at an earlier date; and

(c)

it is unlikely that, but for this Part, the application could be determined in time to enable the activity to be undertaken or the facility constructed for the Rugby World Cup 2011 or the test event, as the case may be.

26 Preliminary consideration of applications relating to tournament venues

In determining an application that relates to a tournament venue, the Authority must disregard the criteria set out in section 25(3)(b) and (c).

27 Notice of preliminary decision

(1)

The Authority must give notice to the applicant of its determination under section 25(1), advising whether or not the application is to be determined under this Act, and the reasons for the decision.

(2)

The Authority must give notice of its decision not later than 5 working days after receiving—

(a)

the application from the administrative secretariat under section 17(4)(b); or

(b)

any further information requested under section 25(2).

Notification of applications

28 Authority must give public notice of applications

(1)

If the Authority determines under section 25 that an application is to be determined under this Act, the Authority must, not later than 5 working days after notifying the applicant under section 27,—

However, subsection (1)(a) does not apply if the enactment or statutory planning instrument that would apply, but for this Act, makes no provision for public notice to be given of an application made under that enactment or statutory planning instrument.

(3)

Despite subsection (2), the Authority may give public notice of an application to which that subsection applies if it considers that there are special circumstances that warrant public notice being given.

(4)

If public notice is not given, the Authority must, without delay, give written notice to the persons with a right to be heard, as provided for in section 32(2), of—

(a)

the decision not to publicly notify the application; and

(b)

the right of those persons to request a hearing.

(5)

Any request for a hearing must be received by the administrative secretariat not later than 4 working days after the date of the notice given under this subsection.

(2)

To avoid doubt, unless section 41 applies, an activity or facility undertaken or constructed under an approval, a declaration, or a test approval or declaration granted or made under this Part does not—
