Section 119 – Duration etc. of temporary stop notice
316.This section provides that a temporary stop notice takes effect when a copy of the notice is first displayed and ceases to have effect at the end of a period of 28 days, beginning on the date it is first displayed, unless a shorter period is specified in the notice or the court grants an injunction under section 122.
317.This section also specifies that if the relevant planning authority withdraws the notice before the end of the period for which it would otherwise have effect, the notice ceases to have effect when it is withdrawn.
318.Where a temporary stop notice is issued, this section prevents the relevant planning authority from issuing a second or subsequent notice in respect of the same activity, unless the authority has issued a notice of unauthorised development or issued an injunction.
