30Procedure on reference of listed building purchase notice to Secretary of State

(1)Where a copy of a listed building purchase notice is sent to the Secretary of State under section 29(4), he shall consider whether to confirm the notice or to take other action under section 31 in respect of it.

(2)Before confirming such a notice or taking such other action, the Secretary of State shall give notice of his proposed action—

(a)to the person who served the notice,

(b)to the planning authority on whom it was served, and

(c)if the Secretary of State proposes to substitute any other planning authority or statutory undertakers for the planning authority on whom the notice was served, to them.

(3)A notice under subsection (2) shall specify the period (which must not be less than 28 days from its service) within which any of the persons, authorities or statutory undertakers on whom it is served may require the Secretary of State to give them an opportunity of appearing before, and being heard by, a person appointed by the Secretary of State for the purpose.

(4)If within that period any of those persons, authorities or statutory undertakers so requires, the Secretary of State shall, before he confirms the listed building purchase notice or takes any other action under section 31 in respect of it, give each of them such an opportunity.

(5)If, after any of those persons, authorities or statutory undertakers have appeared before and been heard by the appointed person, or the persons, authorities and statutory undertakers concerned have agreed to dispense with such a hearing, it appears to the Secretary of State to be expedient to take action under section 31 otherwise than in accordance with the notice given by him, the Secretary of State may take that action accordingly.
