Enforcement notices

I137Variation and withdrawal of enforcement notice

1

Where the Welsh Ministers have issued an enforcement notice, they 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 works to be stopped or any step to be taken.

2

The Welsh Ministers 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 Welsh Ministers from issuing another enforcement notice.

4

Subsection (5) applies where the Welsh Ministers had served copies of the enforcement notice under section 36(4) before exercising the powers in subsection (1).

5

Immediately after exercising any of those powers, the Welsh Ministers must give notice that they have 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).
