PART 4ENFORCEMENT
Stop notices
149Duration and effect of stop notice
(1)
A stop notice takes effect at the beginning of the day specified in the notice under section 145(3)(c).
(2)
A stop notice has effect until the end of the period within which the enforcement notice to which it relates requires an activity to be stopped.
(3)
But the stop notice ceases to have effect before the end of that period if—
(a)
the enforcement notice is withdrawn or quashed, or
(b)
the stop notice is withdrawn.
(4)
If the enforcement notice is varied so that an activity ceases to be a relevant activity (within the meaning given by section 145(2)), the stop notice ceases to have effect so far as it prohibits that activity.
(5)
A stop notice is not invalid because a copy of the enforcement notice to which it relates was not served on a person as required by section 129, if it is shown that the planning authority did everything that was reasonably practicable to serve the enforcement notice as required by that section.
