Regulation 53 Appeal against levy amount
A liable person may appeal to the Secretary of State against the levy amount.
An appeal under this regulation may only be made after completion of a review under regulation 50.
An appeal under this regulation must be—
made before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day after the day on which Natural England notified the appellant of the decision of the review;
only on the ground that Natural England has incorrectly calculated the levy amount for the relevant development.
While the appeal is outstanding—
no relevant amount is payable for the relevant development, and
no such amount can become an overdue relevant amount.
On an appeal under this regulation, the Secretary of State may—
confirm the calculation of the levy amount,
recalculate the levy amount, or
require Natural England to recalculate the levy amount.
Where the Secretary of State confirms the calculation of the levy amount or the Secretary of State recalculates the levy amount—
the Secretary of State may set a new due date for one or more relevant amounts, which must comply with the requirements of regulation 12(3), and
if the Secretary of State sets a new due date, Natural England may not amend that due date to an earlier date.
