Section 25

No revocation or modification under subsection (1) shall have effect until confirmed by the Committee.

An order revoking a planning permission or an approval of a building plan shall state the period within which the person to whom the permission or approval was granted is required to demolish any building erected pursuant to the permission or approval and the maximum amount that the local planning authority is prepared to reimburse the person in respect of costs incurred by him in carrying out the demolition.

If, within the period stated in the revocation order or such longer period as the local planning authority may allow, demolition has not been carried out or completed, the local planning authority may itself and at its own expense carry out or complete the demolition.

If demolition has been completed by the person to whom the planning permission or approval of the building plan was granted, the local planning authority shall reimburse the person the costs actually and reasonably incurred by him in carrying out the demolition, but not exceeding the amount stated in the revocation order.

If demolition has been partially carried out by the person to whom the planning permission or approval of the building plan was granted, but completed by the local planning authority, the local planning authority shall assess the amount that the demolition would have cost had it been carried out entirely by the local planning authority, and determine the amount of the costs actually and reasonably incurred by it in completing the demolition, and shall pay the person by way of reimbursement of his costs the difference between the two amounts or the costs actually and reasonably incurred by the person in carrying out his part of the demolition, whichever is the lesser amount, but in no case shall the local planning authority be bound to pay any amount beyond the amount stated in the revocation order.

If a planning permission or an approval of a building plan is revoked under subsection (1) and the person to whom the permission or approval was granted claims from the local planning authority, within the time and in the manner prescribed,

compensation for any expenditure incurred by him in carrying out works to implement the permission or approval prior to its revocation or modification, the local planning authority shall, after giving the person a reasonable opportunity to be heard, offer such compensation to him as the local planning authority thinks adequate.

Where a planning permission or an approval of a building plan is modified under subsection (1), the local planning authority shall reimburse the person to whom the permission or approval was granted the costs actually and reasonably incurred by him in implementing the modification, being costs that he would not have incurred had the modification not been ordered, and shall compensate him for any loss suffered as a result of the modification.

If any person is aggrieved by the amount of any reimbursement or compensation offered or paid to him under this section, he may, within the time and in the manner prescribed, appeal to the Appeal Board and the Appeal Board shall assess the amount of reimbursement or compensation to be paid.
