If the application for authorisation to operate a business within the meaning of articles R. 752-4 to R. 752-6 is complete, the commission secretariat shall inform the mayor. In the absence of any information to the contrary communicated to the mayor by the commission secretariat within fifteen clear days of receipt of the application, the application is deemed to be complete. This period runs from the day on which the application for authorisation to operate a business is received at the secretariat of the departmental commission.
If the commercial authorisation application file is incomplete, the commission secretariat will inform the mayor of the missing documents that must be included in the file. Within three days of receipt, the mayor forwards the missing documents to the commission secretariat.
The time limit for examining the application for authorisation to operate a business is counted from receipt of a complete file by the secretariat of the departmental commercial development commission. As soon as this application is received, the Prefect, in accordance with article L. 751-2, inform, by any means, the mayors of the communes bordering the commune of establishment included in the trading area as mentioned and defined in Articles L. 751-2 and R. 752-3.
