Within sixty days of the date of filing of an application under this section an application shall be deemed approved, unless the commissioner shall schedule a hearing in accordance with chapter thirty A to consider denial thereof and shall hold such hearing within thirty days of such scheduling. The decision of the commissioner shall be rendered within thirty days following such hearing, or the application so filed will be deemed approved.
