On an application under this paragraph—
the mineral planning authority must determine the conditions to which the permission is to be subject, and
if, within the period of three months beginning with the service of notice of the application (or within such extended period as may at any time be agreed upon in writing between the applicant and the authority) the authority have not given the applicant notice of their determination, the authority shall be treated for the purposes of section 22 of this Act and this Schedule as having determined that the permission is to be subject to the conditions set out in the application.
The condition to which an old mining permission is to be subject by reason of sub-paragraph (1)(c) above is not to be regarded for the purposes of the planning Acts as a condition such as is mentioned in section 72(1)(b) of the principal Act (planning permission granted for a limited period).
This paragraph does not apply to an old mining permission which has ceased to have effect since the application under paragraph 1 above was granted.

Where the mineral planning authority determine an application under either of those paragraphs, they must as soon as reasonably practicable give written notice of their determination to the applicant.
An appropriate certificate is such a certificate—
as would be required under the provisions mentioned in sub-paragraph (6) or, as the case may be, (7) below to accompany the application if it were an application for planning permission for development consisting of the winning and working of minerals or, as the case may be, involving the depositing of mineral waste, but
with such modifications as are required for the purposes of this Schedule.
For the purposes of paragraph 1 above, the provisions referred to in sub-paragraph (5) above are—
For the purposes of paragraph 2 above, the provisions referred to in sub-paragraph (5) above are—
Section 68(1) or, as the case may be, 65(5) of that Act (offences) shall also have effect in relation to any certificate purporting to be an appropriate certificate.

Schedule 6 to the principal Act (determination of appeals by persons appointed by Secretary of State) applies to appeals under this paragraph.
Determination of appeal
On an appeal under paragraph 5 above the Secretary of State may—and may deal with the application as if it had been made to him in the first instance.
allow or dismiss the appeal, or
reverse or vary any part of the decision of the mineral planning authority (whether the appeal relates to that part of it or not),
Before determining such an appeal the Secretary of State must, if either the appellant or the mineral planning authority so wish, give each of them an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed by the Secretary of State for the purpose.
If at any time before or during the determination of such an appeal it appears to the Secretary of State that the appellant is responsible for undue delay in the progress of the appeal, he may—
give the appellant notice that the appeal will be dismissed unless the appellant takes, within the period specified in the notice, such steps as are specified in the notice for the expedition of the appeal, and
if the appellant fails to take those steps within that period, dismiss the appeal accordingly.
The decision of the Secretary of State on such an appeal shall be final.
Reference of applications to Secretary of State
The Secretary of State may give directions requiring applications under this Schedule to any mineral planning authority to be referred to him for determination instead of being dealt with by the authority.
The direction may relate either to a particular application or to applications of a class specified in the direction.
Where an application is referred to him under this paragraph—
subject to paragraph (b) and sub-paragraph (4) below, the following provisions of this Schedule—shall apply, with any necessary modifications, as they apply to applications which fall to be determined by the mineral planning authority,
paragraph 1(1) to (4),
paragraph 2(1) to (6)(a), (7) and (8),
paragraphs 3 and 4, and
paragraphs 8 to 10,
before determining the application the Secretary of State must, if either the applicant or the mineral planning authority so wish, give each of them an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed by the Secretary of State for the purpose, and
the decision of the Secretary of State on the application shall be final.
Where an application under paragraph 1 above is so referred to him, paragraph 2(5) above shall apply as if for paragraphs (a) and (b) there were substituted “the date on which the application for registration is finally determined”.
Two or more applicants
Where a person has served an application under paragraph 1 or 2 above in respect of an old mining permission—
he may not serve any further application under the paragraph in question in respect of the same permission, and
if the application has been determined, whether or not it has been finally determined, no other person may serve an application under the paragraph in question in respect of the same permission.
Where—then for the purpose of the determination of the applications and any appeal against such a determination, this Schedule shall have effect as if the applications were a single application served on the date on which the later application was served and references to the applicant shall be read as references to either or any of the applicants.
a person has served an application under paragraph 1 or 2 above in respect of an old mining permission, and
another person duly serves an application under the paragraph in question in respect of the same permission,
Application of provisions of principal Act
Subject to paragraph 3 above, section 69 of the principal Act (registers of applications, etc.), and any provision of a development order made by virtue of that section, shall have effect with any necessary modifications as if references to applications for planning permission included applications under paragraph 1 or 2 above.
Where the mineral planning authority is not the authority required to keep the register under that section, the mineral planning authority must provide the authority required to keep the register with such information and documents as that authority requires to comply with paragraph 3 above and with that section as applied by this paragraph.
Sections 284 and 288 of the principal Act (validity of certain decisions and proceedings for questioning their validity) shall have effect as if the action mentioned in section 284(3) included any decision of the Secretary of State on an appeal under paragraph 5 above or on an application referred to him under paragraph 7 above.

In this Schedule—“official form” means, in relation to an application or appeal, a document supplied by or on behalf of the Secretary of State for use for the purpose in question, and“owner” in relation to any land means any person who—
is the estate owner in respect of the fee simple, or
is entitled to a tenancy granted or extended for a term of years certain of which not less than seven years remain unexpired.
For the purposes of section 22 of this Act and this Schedule, an application under paragraph 1 or 2 above is finally determined when the following conditions are met—
the proceedings on the application, including any proceedings on or in consequence of an application under section 288 of the principal Act, have been determined, and
any time for appealing under paragraph 5 above, or applying or further applying under that section, (where there is a right to do so) has expired.
