Prospective
(1)A planning authority may issue a temporary stop notice if it considers—
(a)that there has been a breach of planning control in respect of any land in its area, and
(b)that the activity that constitutes the breach (or any part of that activity) ought to be stopped immediately.
(2)A temporary stop notice must—
(a)specify the activity that the authority considers to constitute the breach of planning control,
(b)prohibit the carrying out of the activity that constitutes the breach (or of so much of the activity as is specified in the notice),
(c)set out the authority’s reasons for issuing the notice, and
(d)state the effect of section 123 (offence of breaching temporary stop notice).
(3)The planning authority must display a copy of the temporary stop notice on the land to which it relates; and the copy must specify the date on which it is first displayed.
(4)But if it is not reasonably practicable to display a copy of the notice on the land, the authority may instead display a copy in a prominent place as near to the land as is reasonably practicable.
(5)The authority may serve a copy of the notice on any person the authority considers—
(a)to be carrying out the activity that the notice prohibits or causing or permitting the activity to be carried out,
(b)to be an occupier of the land to which the notice relates, or
(c)to have an interest in the land.
