If an application is made under section 65 , the licensee’s licence is taken to continue in force from the day that it would, apart from this section, have expired until the licensee’s application for renewal is—
(a) decided under section 66 ; or
(b) withdrawn by the licensee; or
(c) taken to have been withdrawn under section 65 (4) .
Note—For what happens to cannabis plants and seed in the licensee’s possession if the chief executive decides to refuse to renew a licence, see sections 82 and 83 .
