If, after the date that any permit is approved, the permit work has not begun within three months, or substantial progress is not made on the permit work within six months, or the permit work is not completed within fifteen (15) months, or the permit work is suspended or abandoned for a period of three months after it has commenced, then the permit shall lapse. Upon lapse of any permit, all retained fees and deposits shall be forfeited and any permit bonds shall be subject to forfeiture upon approval of the Village Council. No work shall be done under a lapsed permit and no further inspections shall be performed on the work that was the subject of the lapsed permit unless the permit is first revived pursuant to this section. Any request to revive a permit after it has lapsed pursuant to this section shall be considered a new permit application and shall be subject to all fees, costs, deposits and approvals applicable to a new permit application for such work.
