If, taking into account the updated situation of the catchment area, the reasons that led to the suspension of the retail authorisation procedure so justify, the prefect may extend this suspension for a further period of up to one year, by a new order issued no later than six months before the initial term of the suspension.
The prefect shall first seek the opinion of the president or presidents of the public establishments for inter-communal cooperation with their own tax status and the mayor or mayors mentioned, as the case may be, in the third or fourth paragraph of article R. 752-29-2, setting them a deadline for responding that may not be less than fifteen days. The request for an opinion shall include an update of the information mentioned in article R. 752-29-5 and sets out the reasons for extending the stay of proceedings.
The order shall state the reasons for the extension in the light of the updated information on which the suspension was based and shall specify the definitive end of the suspension.
