Lez, this has been well and truly covered here in the past by many posters who are far more competent than I am. However, in brief summary, to the best of my memory, PEN is the first company to lodge under the new streamlined permitting process. They have been working closely with the regulators in the pre submission stage. They have learned from the mistakes of others. The new process should see permits granted around 90 days post submission of application. In the most recent company presentation the company believed they were on track to receive permits within the expected timeframe.
This is all from memory and only a quick answer. I am sure someone with the time will look up the relevent documemtation and do some "cut and Pasting" but I want to get in quick and reassure people that the permit will not take 4 years and I would be surprised if it takes 4 months.
cheers
