F154C Intimation of notices etc. affecting listed buildings.

Subject to subsection (2) below, where a local authority—
(a)
have, under or by virtue of any enactment, served a notice requiring any person to show cause why a listed building should not conform to the building regulations; or
(b)
have, under or by virtue of any enactment, served a notice or made an order requiring—
(i)
the demolition of such a building; or
(ii)
the carrying out of works affecting such a building; or
(c)
propose (whether under or by virtue of any enactment or otherwise) to carry out emergency works or demolitions affecting such a building,
they shall forthwith give written intimation of the notice, order, or proposal, as the case may be, to the planning authority:
Provided that where the building is owned, leased or occupied by the planning authority, the local authority (whether or not they are the planning authority) shall also give such intimation to the Secretary of State.
(2)
Where the safety of the public requires that any demolition or works be carried out without such delay as would result from compliance with the provisions of subsection (1) above, the intimation (which may, in such a case, initially be oral) shall be given as long before the commencement of the demolition or works as is consistent with that requirement.
