Objectors argue that if their appeal is denied, the issue presented will ultimately evade our review. They rely on Schultheis v. Bd. of Supervisors of Upper Bern Township, 727 A.2d 145 (Pa.Cmwlth. 1999). Pa. R.A.P. 311(f)(2) provides that an appeal may be taken as of right from a trial court's order remanding a matter to an administrative agency if it decides an issue that would ultimately evade appellate review if immediate appeal is not permitted. Pa. R.A.P. 311(f)(2).
Consequently, even where the preliminary plan fails to comply with the objective, substantive requirements, the governing body may in its discretion either reject the plan outright or grant conditional approval. Schultheis v. Board of Supervisors of Upper Bern Township, 727 A.2d 145 (Pa.Cmwlth. 1999). Further, the preliminary plan containing minor defects correctable by amendment must be approved subject to a condition that necessary corrections be made. Shelbourne Square Assoc. v. Board of Supervisors of Township of Exeter, 794 A.2d 946 (Pa.Cmwlth. 2002), appeal denied, 572 Pa. 727, 814 A.2d 679 (2002).
