A relevant authority may permit an applicant to vary an application at any time before the application is decided. The date of receipt of the varied application then becomes the new date of receipt of the application for the purposes of decision time limits.
If the variations are not substantial then time limits will continue to run from the original verification date/payment of fees.
Regulation 35(2) provides that if the variations are not substantial then the time limits are not reset. The date of receipt of the varied application becomes the new date for decision time limits where the variations are substantial.
