If the applicant was given the wrong local authority details, what would happen? When would tacit authorisation start?
It is up to the applicant to ensure that the correct postcode information is submitted. If the applicant does not provide the correct information and the relevant authority does not receive the application then tacit authorisation would not apply as the form is incomplete or faulty in Directive terms. Local authorities must not sit on applications that they have decided are not for them and must inform the applicant as soon as possible.
