Demolition of obstructive buildings
285 Right of appeal against obstructive building order.
1
A person aggrieved by an obstructive building order may, within 21 days after the date of the service of the order, appeal to the county court.
2
No appeal lies at the instance of a person who is in occupation of the building to which the order relates under a lease or agreement of which the unexpired term is three years or less.
3
On an appeal the court may make such order either confirming, quashing or varying the order as it thinks fit.
4
If an appeal is brought, the order does not become operative until—
a
a decision on the appeal confirming the order (with or without variation) is given and the period within which an appeal to the Court of Appeal may be brought expires without any such appeal having been brought, or
b
if a further appeal to the Court of Appeal is brought, a decision on that appeal is given confirming the order (with or without variation);
and for this purpose the withdrawal of an appeal has the same effect as a decision confirming the order or decision appealed against.
Pt. IX (ss. 264–323) extended by Housing (Consequential Provisions) Act 1985 (c. 71, SIF 61), s. 5(2), Sch. 4 para. 11
