              (b) if the period during which the application was required to be decided under the

              (2) Each of the following is an original decision—
              (a) the decision or action for which a decision notice was given (an approval decision);
              (b) if the period during which an application was required to be decided under the
              connections policy has expired—the failure to give a decision notice for the application (a
              failure to decide);
