    3. The application is examined technically for compliance with the \u2018Accessability\u2019 part of the Building Regulations.<\/li>\n
    4. Where it is considered that additional information or modifications are required to the application, the officer examining the application may request such additional information\/modification from the applicant.<\/li>\n
    5. A Disability Access Certificate will issue to the applicant as soon as possible after all required additional information has been submitted.<\/li>\n
    6. The Building Control Authority must notify the applicant of the decision on the application within two months of the application date or within such extended period of time as may be agreed between the applicant and the Authority at any time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
