PRIORITY OF LOCATION OR APPROPRIATION; NOTICE TO OWNERS OF EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS
(§ 62.1-92)

No priority of location or appropriation shall be recognized by the Commission
in its consideration of any application for a license, under this chapter,
except that in case of an application for a license for any reconstruction or
enlargement of any existing development, the owner of such development shall be
entitled to priority over any other applicant for a license for the construction
of a development which would materially affect such existing development, and
every such applicant for a license under this chapter shall give notice of his
application within ten days after filing of the same with the State Corporation
Commission to every other person, firm, association or corporation owning any
other development which might be affected thereby, whose application for a
license under this chapter would be entitled to priority if such application
were filed. In case of conflict between two or more applicants, the Commission
may grant the license to such applicant as it may deem best in the light of the
considerations herein specified.
