out a new private road shall send to the municipality a written application with plans and sections showing the following particulars, namely—

1. (a) the intended level, direction and width of the road;
2. (b) the road alignment and the building line; and
3. (c) the arrangements to be made for levelling, paving, metalling, flagging, channelling, sewering, draining, conserving and lighting the road.

1. (2) The provisions of this Act and of any rules or bye-laws made under this Act as to the level and width of public road and the height of buildings abutting thereon shall apply also in the case of roads referred to in sub-section (1), and all the particulars referred to in that sub-section shall be subject to approval by the municipality.
2. (3) Within sixty days after the receipt of any application under sub-section (1), the municipality shall either sanction the making of the road on such conditions as it may think fit, or disallow it, or ask for further information with respect to it.
3. (4) Such sanction may be refused —
   • (i) if the proposed road would conflict with any arrangements which have been made, or which are in the opinion of the municipality likely to be made, for carrying out any general scheme for the laying out of roads;
   • (ii) if the proposed road does not conform to the provisions of the Act, rules and bye-laws referred to in sub-section (2); or
   • (iii) if the proposed road is not designed so as to connect at one end with a road which is already open.
4. (5) No person shall make or lay out any new private road without or otherwise than in conformity with the orders of the municipality. If further information is asked for no steps shall be taken to make or lay out the road until orders have been passed upon receipt of such information: Provided that the passing of such order shall not in any case be delayed for more than sixty days after the municipality has received all the informations which it considers necessary to enable it to deal finally with the said application. Any application not disallowed within a period of one hundred and twenty days from the date of receipt by the municipality shall be deemed to have been sanctioned.
