A temporary stop notice is an enforcement action that can be taken by a local planning authority if there is a breach of planning control. It is an order for the ‘relevant activity’ to cease on any part of that land.

It was introduced as a power in 2004 by Section 171E of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

The issuing of a temporary stop notice is at the discretion of the local planning authority, on the basis that they believe there to be a breach that means it is ‘expedient that the activity which amounts to the breach is stopped immediately.’ The requirements of the notice should prohibit only what is essential to safeguard public safety or amenity in the neighbourhood, or prevent serious harm being caused to the surrounding area’s environment.

A temporary stop notice differs from a regular stop notice in that it does not need to be accompanied with, or follow, the issuing of an enforcement notice. Temporary stop notices can be issued on a stand-alone basis and still be effective. The advantage of this is that it is quicker – the compliance period does not have to expire before the local authority can serve the notice – and is therefore a more suitable recourse where immediate action is necessary.

A temporary stop notice is only valid for a period of 28 days, after which, the local authority must take alternative types of enforcement action if it is deemed necessary.
