20A.—(1) Where—

the clerk may act for the authority in relation to the determination of the application.

(b)granting the application in circumstances where there is a discretion to refuse it.
(3) The clerk to the appropriate authority may not act under sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph in any case where to do so would be contrary to the authority’s directions.
