return the endorsed copy, as soon as is reasonably practicable, to the person giving the notice.

If a notice of objection is pending in relation to a temporary use notice when the 14 day period specified in section 221(4) expires, then as soon as is reasonably practicable after the completion of proceedings on the temporary use notice the licensing authority shall, unless they give a counter-notice under section 224(3)(a)—

endorse the copy submitted under section 219(3)(a) in such manner as may be prescribed by the Secretary of State by regulations, and

return the endorsed copy, as soon as is reasonably practicable, to the person giving the temporary use notice.

For the purposes of this section a notice of objection is pending if it has been given in accordance with section 221 and—

it has not been withdrawn, and

it is not treated as withdrawn in accordance with section 223(3)(b).

For the purposes of this section proceedings on a temporary use notice are completed—

if any notice of objection given in relation to the temporary use notice has been withdrawn, or

A licensing authority shall make arrangements whereby if an endorsed copy of a temporary use notice is lost, stolen or damaged the person who gave the notice can obtain a new endorsed copy; and—

the arrangements may include the charging of such fee as the Secretary of State may prescribe by regulations, and

section 212 shall have effect in relation to fees under paragraph (a) above as it has effect in relation to fees under Part 8.
