14.—(1) Where the appropriate authority reasonably considers that—
(a)it requires further information properly to consider the likely environmental effects of the project which gives rise to the regulated activity covered by the application, and
(b)the applicant is (or should be) able to provide such information,
the appropriate authority must notify the applicant in writing of the matters on which it requires further information.
(2) Neither the regulator nor the appropriate authority need deal further with, or exercise any functions under these Regulations in relation to, the application, and the regulator must not reach its regulatory decision, until any further information required in accordance with paragraph (1) has been provided to the appropriate authority and to the regulator (if the regulator is not also the appropriate authority).

(a)the regulator may treat the application as having been withdrawn; and
(b)the appropriate authority (if the regulator is not also the appropriate authority) may direct the regulator to do so.
