Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023 · 2023 c. 55View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 10: Letting by local authorities of vacant high-street premises

This section applies if—

a counter-notice is given under section 201, and
the landlord of the premises to which it relates is not, within the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the counter-notice was received by the local authority, notified by the authority of the withdrawal of the final letting notice.

The landlord may appeal against the final letting notice to the county court.

An appeal must be brought on the ground specified in the counter-notice.

An appeal must be brought within the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the counter-notice was received by the local authority.

In disposing of an appeal under this section, the county court must either revoke or confirm the final letting notice.

The period referred to in section 198(3), as it applies to a particular final letting notice, is extended by one day (in addition to those referred to in section 201(6)) for each day in the period—

beginning with the day on which an appeal against the notice is brought, and
ending with the day on which the appeal is finally determined, withdrawn or abandoned.

For the purposes of subsection (6)(b), an appeal is not finally determined until the decision on the appeal, or on any further appeal, may not be overturned on a further appeal (ignoring the possibility of an appeal out of time with permission).
