What should I do if a council, certifier or safety regulator orders work to stop?
Read the notice, identify the work it covers and tell the people carrying out that work. Follow the lawful direction and ask the issuing authority what is required to address it. Do not restart the affected work contrary to the notice. Obtain prompt advice about review, appeal or any urgent safety steps. A review application does not necessarily suspend the notice; check whether a stay or other permission is needed.
