         (A) the inclusion of prohibited development in the application; or

         agencies for the development application; or

         (D) a referral agency, in assessing the application under section 55(2), to assess the application
         against, or have regard to, a matter, other than a matter the referral agency must have assessed
         the application against, or had regard to, when the application was made; or
         (E) public notification if public notification was not required for the development application.
