Part I: Building Regulations

Building regulations may make provision about compliance notices or stop notices.

The regulations may in particular make provision about—

the form and content of notices;
the giving of notices;
the amendment or withdrawal of notices;
the extension of any period specified in a compliance notice for the doing of a thing.

The regulations may require a building control authority which gives a notice to a person to take reasonable steps to notify other prescribed persons.

A compliance notice, or a stop notice under section 35C(1)(a), may not be given in respect of a contravention (including a future contravention) where—

an application for building control approval was made to a building control authority in respect of any work that is not higher-risk building work,
the application was granted, and
the contravention consists (or would consist) of the carrying out of work or the doing of anything else in accordance with—
the plans, or any other document, approved by the grant of building control approval, and
any requirement imposed by the building control authority in connection with the work or other thing.
