(a) No decision of the Board permitting the erection of a structure may be valid for a period longer than one-year unless a building permit for such erection or alteration is obtained within such year and such erection or alteration is started and proceeds to completion in accordance with the terms of such permit.
(b) No decision of the Board permitting a use of a structure or premises shall be valid for a period longer than one-year unless such use is established within such year; provided, however, that where such use permitted is dependent upon the erection or alteration of a structure such decision shall continue in force and effect if a building permit for such erection or alteration is started and proceeds to completion in accordance with the terms of such permit.
(c) The Board may grant an extension of a variance upon the demonstration, to the satisfaction of the Board that the delay in obtaining building permits was not caused by the action or negligence of the applicant.
