Two returns alone do not establish whether the file can be resubmitted, needs a new application or has a deadline. Check the actual portal status and authority instructions with the appointed applicant.
Read the returned submission notice
Start with the status and instructions attached to the application. A request for information, a design revision and an instruction to use another application call for different responses. Read the full notice before preparing the next upload.
Keep the comments and drawing revisions together
Ask for the full comments from each round, the drawings submitted on those dates, the application reference and any notice about fees, closure or deadlines. Keep this as one dated record.
Build a response plan
Read the notice
Identify whether the authority requests information, a revision or a different application.
Compare the rounds
Link each comment to its drawing revision and the previous response.
Resolve the underlying issue
Assign technical questions to the relevant designer and seek clarification where needed.
Confirm the next action
Have the authorised applicant confirm the permitted response and timing.
Review any change of consultant
Review the cause of the repeated comments before deciding whether to change consultants. If a change is needed, confirm the appointment or transfer requirements and arrange a complete handover of drawings, submissions and correspondence.
