Section 47 – Duty to give interested parties copies of notice
190.Section 47 provides that where the Authority gives notice to an owner of land under section 46 that it intends, or has started, to carry out operations, it must also give a copy of the notice to any other person with an interest in the notice. These persons are listed in subsection (2). This is to ensure that anyone who might be affected by the carrying out of operations on the land, or who might be required to contribute towards the cost of carrying out the operations, is informed about them. Subsection (4) requires the Authority to give copies of the notice on the day the notice is given to the owner, or as soon as practicable after that day.
