(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, so long as a building, not being—
(a) a building to which a building preservation order applies, or
(b) a building of a description specified in subsection (2) of section thirty of this Act,
is included in a list compiled or approved under the last preceding section, no person shall execute, or cause or permit to be executed, any works for the demolition of the building, or for its alteration or extension in any manner which would seriously affect its character, unless at least two months before the works are executed notice in writing of the proposed works has been given to the local planning authority.
(2) Nothing in the preceding subsection shall render unlawful the execution of any works which are urgently necessary in the interests of safety or health, or for the preservation of the building or of neighbouring property, so long as notice in writing thereof has been given to the local planning authority as soon as may be after the necessity for the works arises.
(3) Where a local planning authority receive notice of any proposed works under this section, they shall as soon as may be send a copy of the notice to the Minister, and, except where the authority is the council of a county borough, to the council of the county district in which the building to which the notice relates is situated, and in either case to such other persons or bodies of persons as may be specified by directions of the Minister either generally or with respect to the building in question.
