(4) If, as a result of any objection or representation considered, or public inquiry held, in connection with a development plan or proposals for amendment of such a plan, the Authority is of the opinion that the Board or any other authority or person ought to be consulted before it decides to make the plan either with or without modifications, or to amend the plan, as the case may be the Authority shall consult that authority or person, but unless otherwise directed by the Cabinet, they shall not be obliged to consult any other authority or person, or to afford any opportunity for further objections or representations or to cause any further public inquiry to be held.

(5) Where permission to develop land is granted under this Part for a limited period only, nothing in this Part shall be construed as requiring permission to be obtained thereunder for the resumption, at the expiration of that period, of the use of the land for the purpose for which it was normally used before the permission was granted. (6) In determining for the purposes of subsection (5), the purposes for which land was normally used before the grant of permission, no account shall be taken of any use of the land begun in contravention of this Part. Revocation and modification of planning permission

(1) Subject to this section, if it appears to the Authority that it is expedient, having regard to the development plan and to any other material considerations, that any permission to develop land on an application made in that behalf under this Part should be revoked or modified, it may, by order, revoke or modify the permission to such an extent as appears to it to be expedient as aforesaid. (2) The power conferred by this section to revoke permission to develop land may be exercised — (a) where the permission relates to the carrying out of building or other operations, at any time before those operations have been completed; or (b) where the permission relates to a change of the use of any land, at any time before the change has taken place and the power conferred by this section to modify permission to develop land may be exercised at any time; but the revocation or modification of permission for the carrying out of building or other operations shall not affect so much of those operations as has been previously carried out. (3) Where permission to develop land is revoked or modified by an order made under this section, then if on a claim made to the Authority within six months of the making of the order, it is shown that any person interested in the land has incurred expenditure in carrying out work that is rendered abortive by the revocation or modification, or has otherwise sustained loss or damage that is directly attributable to the revocation or modification, the Authority shall pay to that person compensation in respect of that expenditure, loss or damage. (4) No compensation shall be payable under subsection (3) in respect of loss or damage consisting of the depreciation in value of any interest in the land by virtue of the revocation or modification. (5) For the purposes of this section, any expenditure incurred in the preparation of plans for the purposes of any work or upon other matters preparatory thereto shall be deemed to be included in the expenditure incurred in carrying out that work, but except as aforesaid no compensation shall be paid under this section in respect of any work carried out before the grant of the permission that is revoked or modified, or by reason of any other loss or damage (other than loss or damage by way of depreciation in value of an interest in land) arising out of anything done before the grant of that permission. (6) Where the permission that is revoked or modified by an order under this section is permission for which compensation would be payable under the repealed Part IV in the circumstances therein mentioned, the repealed sections 31, 34 and 35 shall apply as if for references in the repealed section 31 to the refusal of the permission or the imposition of conditions on the grant thereof there were substituted references to the revocation of permission or the modification thereof by the imposition of conditions and section 31(1) shall have effect as if for the words “if the permission had been granted or had been granted unconditionally” there were substituted the words “if the permission had not been revoked or had not been modified”. (7) Where by virtue of this section, compensation is payable in respect of expenditure incurred in carrying out any work on land, then if the Authority purchases any interest in that land, or a claim for compensation is made in respect of any such interest under the repealed section 31, any compensation payable in respect of that interest, or as the case may be, any compensation payable in respect of the interest under the repealed section 31 shall be reduced by an amount equal to the value of the works in respect of which compensation is payable under this section. Enforcement of planning control

(1) If it appears to the Director that any development of land has been carried out after the appointed day without the grant of permission required in that behalf under this Part, or that any conditions subject to which such permission was granted in respect of any development have not been complied with, then the Director may, within five years of such development being carried out, or in the case of non-compliance with a condition, within five years after the date of the alleged failure to comply with it, if the Director considers it expedient so to do having regard to the provisions of the development plan and to any other material considerations, serve on the owner and occupier of the land a notice under this section. (2) Where a prospective purchaser of any land serves notice on the Director that — (a) that person intends purchasing land described in the notice; and (b) that person is unaware of any development having been carried out on that land without the grant of permission in that behalf, then, unless the Director, within thirty-eight days of the receipt of such notice notifies such prospective purchaser of any development which has been carried out on that land without permission granted in that behalf, then all development thereon at the time of the receipt of such notice by the Director shall, for the purposes of any enforcement notice thereafter issued, be deemed to have been permitted by the Director. (3) Any notice served under subsection (1) (in this Act called an “enforcement notice”) shall specify the development that is alleged to have been carried out without the grant of such permission as aforesaid or, as the case may be, the matters in respect of which it is alleged that any such conditions as aforesaid have not been complied with, and may require the taking of such steps as may be specified for restoring the land to its condition before the development took place, or for securing compliance with the conditions, as the case may be and in particular any such notice may, for the purpose aforesaid, require the demolition or alteration of any buildings or works, the discontinuance of any use of the land or the carrying out on land of any building or other operations.

(3) If, after it has been proved that any steps required by the enforcement notice have not been taken as aforesaid, the original defendant proves that the failure to take the steps was attributable in whole or in part to the default of the person joined in the proceedings as aforesaid, that person may be convicted of the offence and if the original defendant further proves that the said original defendant took all reasonable steps to secure compliance with the enforcement notice, the said original defendant shall be acquitted of the offence.

(8) A stop notice shall not be invalid by reason that a copy of the enforcement notice to which it relates was not served as required by section 18(1), if it is shown that the Director took all such steps as were reasonably practicable to effect proper service. (9) Any reference in this section to the period allowed for compliance with an enforcement notice shall be construed in accordance with section 20(1) or 21(1).
