414        Refusal to approve draft site management plan
                If the administering authority refuses to approve a draft site
                management plan, the authority must, within 8 business days
                after its decision, give an information notice about the
                decision to—
                (a)   the person who submitted the plan; and
                (b)   if the person who submitted the plan is not the land’s
                      owner—the land’s owner.

415        Extensions of time for decisions on submission of draft
           site management plans
          (1)   The administering authority may decide to extend the time in
                which it is required to decide whether or not to approve a draft
                site management plan if—
                (a)   it has required additional information about the draft
                      plan; or
                (b)   it is satisfied there are special circumstances for
                      extending the time.
          (2)   The authority must give an information notice about its
                decision to extend the time to—
                (a)   the person (the submitter) who submitted the draft plan;
                      and
                (b)   if the submitter is not the land’s owner—the owner.
          (3)   The notice must be given before the extension starts.

416        Failure to approve draft site management plan taken to be
           refusal
                If the administering authority fails to decide whether to
                approve or refuse a draft site management plan within the
                time it is required to make a decision on the plan, the failure is
                taken to be a decision by the authority to refuse to approve the
                plan at the end of the time.
