PART 4Enforcement

Appeals against notices22

1

Any person who is aggrieved by a decision of an inspector to serve a notice under this Part may appeal to a magistrates’ court.

The procedure on appeal to a magistrates’ court is by way of complaint and the Magistrates’ Courts Act 198014 applies to the proceedings.

3

The period within which an appeal must be brought is 28 days from the service of the notice or, in the case of an enforcement notice, the period specified in the notice, whichever ends earlier.

4

A notice served under this Part must state—

a

the right of appeal to a magistrates’ court;

b

the period in which such an appeal may be brought.

5

On an appeal under this regulation, the court may either cancel or affirm the notice and, if it affirms the notice, it may do so either in its original form or with such modifications as it thinks fit.
