    further reasonable information or clarification of information, documents or

     (a)      grant the application; or
     (b)      grant the application and amend the conditions of the approval; or
     (c)      refuse the application.
(7) In deciding under subsection (6), the local government may have regard to—
     (a)      the matters mentioned in section 9(1); and
     (b)      whether the conditions of the approval are being complied with by the
              applicant.

    government—

     (a)      if the application is granted, with or without amendment of the conditions—
              the date the application is granted; or
     (b)      if the application is refused and the applicant applies for a review of the
              decision under part 4—the date the applicant is given notice of the review
              decision; or
     (c)      if the application is refused and the applicant has not applied for a review of
