A local planning authority may apply to the court for an injunction if it considers it necessary or expedient for any actual or apprehended prohibited activity to be restrained by injunction.

Prohibited activity means activity that constitutes an offence under section 160 or 161 in relation to land in the area of the local planning authority.

On an application under this section the court may grant such an injunction as the court thinks fit for the purpose of restraining the prohibited activity.

In this section “the court” means the High Court or a county court.
