Failure of an application for permit to receive the number of affirmative votes required by the Act upon initial consideration by HFSRB shall constitute an Intent to Deny the application. After issuing an Intent to Deny, HFSRB will give the applicant an opportunity to appear before HFSRB and present information relevant to the approval of the permit [20 ILCS 3960/10] . The date of the Intent to Deny is the date of the HFSRB meeting when the action occurred.
The applicant shall notify HFSRB in writing within 14 calendar days after the Intent to Deny to indicate whether the applicant intends to appear before HFSRB and/or submit additional information. The applicant is responsible for assuring that HFSRB receives the response within 14 days of the Intent to Deny.
A project that has received an Intent to Deny and has been scheduled for HFSRB consideration can be deferred by the applicant. A notice of deferral may be provided in writing prior to the scheduled HFSRB meeting or be provided verbally at the HFSRB meeting. An applicant may not defer HFSRB consideration beyond an HFSRB meeting date that is more than 12 months from the date of the Intent to Deny.
