(1) An applicant who is dissatisfied with:

(a) a decision of a consent authority with respect to the provision (otherwise than by the imposition of a condition of development consent) of security of a kind referred to in section 80A (6), or

(b) the failure or refusal of the consent authority to release a security held by it,

may appeal to the Court.

(3) An appeal with respect to a failure or refusal referred to in subsection (1) (b) may be made:

(a) except as provided by paragraph (b), within 6 months after the work to which the security relates has been completed, or

(b) if the security is provided in respect of contingencies that may arise on or after completion of the work to which the security relates, not earlier than 6 months and not later than 12 months after the completion of the work.
