(b)before any work has been done in or for the purpose of erecting the building the owner gives notice to the local authority of his intention not to proceed with the building,

(2)Where by virtue of subsection (1) above a determination is of no effect and a sum has been paid or security given in accordance with it, the street works authority—
(a)if the sum was paid, shall refund it to the person who is for the time being owner of the land;
(b)if the sum was secured and the person whose property is security for the payment of it is for the time being owner of the land, shall release the security;

the notice to be served under subsection (1) of section 220 above by the street works authority shall, in lieu of being served as required by that subsection, be served on him within one month from the date of the service of the notice of his intention to proceed with the building, and section 220 has effect accordingly.
