27. Planning authority to consider panel's report



(1) The planning authority must consider the panel's report before deciding
whether or not to adopt the amendment.

(2) A planning authority may apply to the Minister to exempt it from
subsection (1) if the planning authority has not received the panel's report
at the end of-

   (a)  6 months from the panel's appointment; or

   (b)  3 months from the date on which the panel completed its hearing-

whichever is earlier.

(3) The Minister may exempt a planning authority from subsection (1) if the
Minister considers that delay in considering whether or not to adopt the
amendment would adversely affect the planning of the area, and may impose
conditions to which the exemption is subject.
