Chapter 2: Development plans etc Chapter 3: Heritage Section 103: Temporary stop notices in relation to listed buildings Background
This section amends the Listed Buildings Act, enabling a local planning authority which suspects unauthorised works were being carried out on a listed building, to issue a temporary stop notice requiring the works to stop for up to 56 days, to allow the local authority to investigate the suspected breach and establish the facts of the case. This section also creates an offence for contravention of such a notice.
