Stop notices

Stop notices: supplementary provisions
41B
1
A stop notice ceases to have effect when—
a
the listed building enforcement notice to which it relates is withdrawn or quashed,
b
the period for compliance expires, or
c
notice of the withdrawal of the stop notice is served under section 41A(7),
whichever occurs first.
2
Where the listed building enforcement notice to which a stop notice relates is varied so that it no longer relates to any relevant works, the stop notice ceases to have effect in relation to those works.
3
The reference in subsection (2) to a listed building enforcement notice being varied includes a reference to—
a
a requirement of such a notice being waived or relaxed by virtue of section 34(7),
b
the terms of such a notice being varied on appeal by virtue of section 37(2)(a).
4
Where a stop notice has been served in respect of any listed building the planning authority may publicise it by displaying on the building a notice (in this section and in sections 41E and 76 referred to as a “
site notice
”)—
a
stating that a stop notice has been served on a particular person or persons,
b
indicating its requirements, and
c
stating that any person contravening it may be prosecuted for an offence under section 41E.
5
A stop notice is not invalid by reason that a copy of the listed building enforcement notice to which it relates was not served as required by section 34 if it is shown that the planning authority took all such steps as were reasonably practicable to effect proper service.
