Authorisation refusal requires deficiency rectification and hearing, while withdrawn or refused applications remain subject to a reapplication waiting period.

Refusal of authorisation follows communication of deficiencies and an opportunity to rectify them within thirty days. Failure to rectify requires refusal only after the applicant has been given a reasonable opportunity of being heard. An applicant may withdraw before authorisation is granted. Applications refused for unrectified deficiencies or withdrawn may be replaced by a fresh application after six months, calculated from communication of refusal or withdrawal respectively.
