            (b)         a person has applied to the responsible authority for such a grant; and

            (c)         the responsible authority has —

                  (i)         refused the application; or

                  (ii)         granted it subject to any condition,

                the applicant may apply to the State Administrative Tribunal for a review, in accordance with this Part, of the responsible authority’s decision.

        (2)         Subject to subsections (1) and (3), an applicant may apply to the State Administrative Tribunal for a review, in accordance with this Part, of the responsible authority’s decision under a local planning scheme, an improvement scheme or the Swan Valley Planning Scheme as to —

            (a)         the classification of a use under the planning scheme; or

            (b)         the permissibility of a use that is not listed under the planning scheme.

        (3)         Subsections (1) and (2) do not affect the operation of a right given or taken to be given by a planning scheme to apply for a review of a decision, but where rights are given or taken to be given by a planning scheme and under subsection (1) or (2), the exercise of one of those rights extinguishes the other right to apply for a review of the same decision.
