### sec.60 How issuing officer may deal with applications for permit
An issuing officer must consider an application for a permit and either—
grant the permit, with or without conditions; or
refuse to grant the permit.
If the terms of the issuing officer’s appointment prevent the officer granting the permit, the officer—
must not grant the permit; and
must tell the applicant where to apply for the permit.
If the issuing officer decides to grant the permit, the officer must promptly give the applicant the permit.
However, the issuing officer must refuse to grant a permit for camping on regulated camping land if granting it would allow the applicant to camp continuously on the same regulated camping land for longer than the maximum term of a permit.
