As Built Permit TOH advice

[Welcome2]

We are putting in an inground pool. The architect is not working on the pool project. The pool builder submitted the application but now that it was returned due to the deck, I have to take care of it. The town asked that they be submitted together so they will be processed together.
I don't want to assume anything, but does this mean they will issue a build permit for both the deck and the pool and when pool is being inspected they will inspect deck? Or does the deck get inspected and approved first, then the build permit for pool is approved?
As you can tell, I have no idea what I am doing but want to make sure I do everything correctly. I know the town is busy and I don't want to bother them with my questions. I really appreciate the guidance.

I would guess the deck situation would need to be straightened out first, then move on to the pool. That would make the most sense. But sense doesn’t always go well with the town.

Btw...the town works for you, for us. The people.
Call. Don’t worry about bothering them. It’s their job.
This whole celebrity like status of the government and its employees needs to stop.
We are the boss. That needs to be reinforced.

They'll review plans together and issue permits once the plans are approved. Then the permits are valid for a year. There are certain points in the pool construction that they will inspect. Since the deck is done, you can just have that signed off whenever the inspector first comes for the pool. There's no need to make a separate inspection appointment for the deck. It's more convenient for everyone involved and appreciated by the inspectors.
