(a)the owner of the [F1premises], or

(b)in the case of a demolition order made under section 265(3) or (4), that a prescribed state of affairs exists,
they may, in order that the person submitting the proposals may have an opportunity of carrying out the works, extend for such period as they may specify the time within which the owner of the premises is required under section 271 to demolish them.

(c)shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.
(5)That time may be further extended by the authority, once or more often as the case may require, if—

(b)though they have not begun, the authority think there has been no unreasonable delay.
(6)Where the authority determine to extend, or further extend, the time within which the owner of any premises is required under section 271 to demolish them, notice of the determination shall be served by the authority on every person having an interest in the premises or part of the premises, whether as freeholder, mortgagee or otherwise.
