9DF1Power to take action following conviction of occupier
1
Where an occupier of land is convicted of an offence under section 9B(1) (failure to take steps required by a compliance notice), the local authority who issued the compliance notice may—
a
take any steps required by the compliance notice to be taken by the occupier, but which have not been so taken; and
b
take such further action as the authority consider appropriate for ensuring that the condition specified in the compliance notice is complied with.
2
Where a local authority propose to take action under subsection (1), they must serve on the occupier of the land a notice which—
a
identifies the land and the compliance notice to which it relates,
b
states that the authority intend to enter onto the land,
c
describes the action the authority intend to take on the land,
d
if the person whom the authority propose to authorise to take the action on their behalf is not an officer of theirs, states the name of that person, and
e
sets out the dates and times on which it is intended that the action will be taken (in particular, when the authority intend to start taking the action and when they expect the action to be completed).
3
The notice must be served sufficiently in advance of when the local authority intend to enter onto the land as to give the occupier of the land reasonable notice of the intended entry.
4
In a case where the local authority authorise a person other than an officer of theirs to take the action on their behalf, the reference in section 26(1) to an authorised officer of the local authority is to be read as including that person.
5
The requirement in section 26(1) to give 24 hours' notice of the intended entry, in its application to a case within this section, applies only in relation to the day on which the local authority intend to start taking the action on the land.
