7.3.4 MRTP Act Sections 48 and 51: lapse of permission and revocation or modification with compensation

A development permission lives for one year and can be stretched year by year to at most three more years, after which unstarted work needs fresh permission (s.48); separately, a Planning Authority may revoke or modify a permission in the interest of the DP before work has gone far, paying compensation for expenditure wasted (s.51).
