An extension of an original permit may be granted upon written 

 request to the [Approval Authority] by the original permit holder 

 or the successor in title. Prior to the granting of an extension, 

 the [Approval Authority] shall require updated studies and/or 

 additional hearings if, in its judgement, the original intent of 

 the permit is altered or enlarged by the renewal, if the 

 circumstances relevant to the review and issuance of the original 

 permit have changed substantially, or if the applicant failed to 

 abide by the terms of the original permit.
