The review must take account of any representations made by the person who gave the notice of request at a stage which gives WRA a reasonable opportunity to consider them.

varied, or

cancelled.

WRA must issue notice of the conclusions of the review to the person who gave the notice of request—

within such other period as WRA and the person may agree.

If WRA fails to issue notice in accordance with subsection (5) or (6)—
