# Town and Country Planning Act 1962, Section 48: Execution by local planning authority of work required by enforcement notice


If, within the period specified in an enforcement notice for compliance therewith, or within such extended period as the local planning authority may allow, any steps required by the notice to be taken (other than the discontinuance of a use of land) have not been taken, the local planning authority may enter upon the land and take those steps, and may recover from the person who is then the owner of the land any expenses reasonably incurred by them in that behalf.
