At least five days prior to commencing each major phase of construction of required improvements, the developer or builder shall notify the Code Enforcement Officer in writing of the time when he/she proposes to commence construction of such improvements, so that the municipal officers can cause inspection to be made to ensure that all municipal specifications and requirements shall be met during the construction of required improvements and to ensure the satisfactory completion of improvements and utilities required by the Planning Board.

At the close of each summer construction season the Town shall, at the expense of the subdivider, have the site inspected by a qualified individual. By December 1 of each year during which construction was done on the site, the inspector shall submit a report to the Planning Board based on that inspection, addressing whether stormwater and erosion control measures (both temporary and permanent) are in place, are properly installed, and appear adequate to do the job they were designed for.

If a substantial start is made within one year of the issuance of the permit, the applicant shall have one additional year to complete the project, at which time the permit shall expire. Failure of the applicant to abide by the time requirements shall render the permit null and void and require the applicant to obtain a new permit before the activity or use may proceed further.

The twelve-month time frame shall commence on the date on which approval, including conditional approval, is granted. Except for activities which are by their nature ongoing, the approved activity or use shall be substantially completed within 24months of the commencement unless the Planning Board, within the time originally allotted, extends the time for completion by up to 12 months. Any extension to commence or complete an approved activity or use shall be granted only upon a finding by the Planning Board that the developer has made progress toward commencement or completion or that progress has been prevented by reasons beyond the control of the developer and that any required performance guarantees have been updated accordingly and revised to provide for increased costs. Failure of the developer to abide by the time requirements shall render the approval null and void and require the developer to reapply for Planning Board approval before the activity or use may proceed further.
