Enforcement notices issued by planning authorities

I1125Variation and withdrawal of enforcement notice

1

Where a planning authority has issued an enforcement notice, it may—

a

withdraw the notice;

b

waive or relax any requirement of the notice, and in particular extend the period within which the notice requires any step to be taken.

2

The authority may exercise the powers in subsection (1) whether or not the notice has taken effect.

3

The withdrawal of an enforcement notice does not prevent the planning authority from issuing another enforcement notice.

4

Subsection (5) applies where the planning authority had served copies of the enforcement notice under section 124(4) before exercising the powers in subsection (1).

5

Immediately after exercising any of those powers, the authority must give notice that it has done so to every person who was served with a copy of the enforcement notice (or who would be served with a copy of the notice if it were reissued).
