Temporary Stop Notice

ODPM 02/2005

This Circular gives guidance on the temporary stop notice provisions in Part 4 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 which inserted sections 171E to 171H to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

It should be kept in mind that though the guidance reflects the Office’s current considered views, interpretation of the law is ultimately for the Courts.
