An appeal to the Land Use Planning Board may
be taken by any interested party affected by any decision of an official
based on or made in the enforcement of this chapter or Official Maps.
Such appeal shall be taken within 65 days by filing a notice of appeal
with the official from whom the appeal is taken, specifying the grounds
of such appeal. The official from whom the appeal is taken shall immediately
transmit to the Board all the papers constituting the record upon
which the action appealed from was taken. However, an applicant for
development may file such an application with the Land Use Planning
Board for action under any of its powers without prior application
to an official.
