This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)Where it appears to the local planning authority—
(a)that any works have been or are being executed to a listed building in their area; and
(b)that the works are such as to involve a contravention of section 9(1) or (2),
they may, if they consider it expedient to do so having regard to the effect of the works on the character of the building as one of special architectural or historic interest, issue a notice under this section (in this Act referred to as a “listed building enforcement notice”).
(2)A listed building enforcement notice shall specify the alleged contravention and require such steps as may be specified in the notice to be taken within such period as may be so specified—
(a)for restoring the building to its former state; or
(b)if the authority consider that such restoration would not be reasonably practicable or would be undesirable, for executing such further works specified in the notice as they consider necessary to alleviate the effect of the works which were carried out without listed building consent; or
(c)for bringing the building to the state in which it would have been if the terms and conditions of any listed building consent which has been granted for the works had been complied with.
(3)A listed building enforcement notice shall specify the date on which it is to take effect (in this section referred to as “the specified date”).
(4)A copy of a listed building enforcement notice shall be served, not later than 28 days after the date of its issue and not later than 28 days before the specified date—
(a)on the owner and on the occupier of the building to which it relates; and
(b)on any other person having an interest in that building which in the opinion of the authority is materially affected by the notice.
(5)The local planning authority may withdraw a listed building enforcement notice (without prejudice to their power to issue another) at any time before it takes effect.
(6)If they do so, they shall immediately give notice of the withdrawal to every person who was served with a copy of the notice.
(7)Where a listed building enforcement notice imposes any such requirement as is mentioned in subsection (2)(b), listed building consent shall be deemed to be granted for any works of demolition, alteration or extension of the building executed as a result of compliance with the notice.
