(1)Each State unit that has participated in a joint hearing shall act promptly on each application for a development permit to be issued by the State unit within 60 days after the day on which the State unit receives notice that the local government has acted on the application for the local development permit.
(2)If the local government has denied the local development permit, the State unit may deny its development permit for that reason. However, the State unit may reconsider the application for a development permit if the local development permit is later granted.

(f)Unless a State unit obtains an extension under § 11-521 of this subtitle, failure of the State unit to act within the time set by this section and by § 11-515 of this subtitle constitutes automatic approval of the application for a development permit as submitted to the State unit, and the State unit immediately shall issue the development permit.
