       manager and each referral agency to proceed with the assessment of the
       application; or
(c)    a letter;
       (i)      stating that you do not intend to supply any of the information requested; and
       (ii)     asking the assessment manager and each referral agency to proceed with
                the assessment of the application.

Please be aware that under Section 279 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, the
applicant must respond to the Information Request within 6 months of the request or
