Article 46 Other consultation by authorities

Where a government department or other public authority intends to take any action in respect of premises which will or may result in changes to any of the measures required by or under this Order, that department or authority must consult the enforcing authority for the premises before taking that action.

Without prejudice to any power of the court to cancel or modify a notice served by a government department or other authority, no failure on the part of the department or authority to consult under paragraph (1) invalidates the action taken.

In paragraph (1), “public authority” includes F1a registered building control approver within the meaning of section 58N of the Building Act 1984.
