ABSTRACT

If a local planning authority considers that the amenity of any part of its area is adversely affected by the condition of any land or building, it may serve on the owner and occupier a notice (s 215(1)) requiring the remedying of the condition of the land or building (s 215(2)) by taking such steps and within such timescale as may be specified in the notice. This cannot take effect within less than 28 days (s 215(3), (4)) and the period may be extended by the planning authority (s 215(7)).
