[Massplanners] Section 81W “Petition” Submitted by Third Party

[DAVID ROBBINS]

Have any of your boards been faced with a Section 81W petition to modify, amend or rescind a subdivision approval where that petition was submitted by a third party (an example would be an abutter seeking to have the approval rescinded or modified)?

If so, how has the board dealt with such a petition?

(This would not be an appeal of the approval; it would be an attempt to alter the approval after the appeal period has lapsed, and quite possibly after construction is well underway.)
