What happens to Alteration and Enforcement notices when an appeal has commenced?

• A. They continue in force.
• B. They are suspended.
• C. They are automatically withdrawn.
• D. They become void.

Answer: (B)

When an appeal is started against an Alteration or Enforcement notice, the notice is suspended for the duration of the appeal. This pause keeps the situation fair by preserving the status quo and preventing enforcement while the challenge is being reviewed. It prevents the business from having to comply with disputed requirements immediately and avoids double penalties if the appeal succeeds. The notice isn’t automatically withdrawn or void; its effect resumes or changes based on the appeal outcome.
