In this section —
means an improvement notice or a prohibition notice.
A person on whom a notice is served may within a period of twenty-eight days appeal by notice to the Appeals Tribunal; and, on such an appeal, the Appeals Tribunal may either cancel or affirm the notice and, if it affirms it, may do so either in its original form or with such modifications as the Appeals Tribunal may in the circumstances think fit.
Where an appeal under this section is brought against a notice within the period allowed under subsection (2), then —
in the case of an improvement notice, the bringing of the appeal shall have the effect of suspending the operation of the notice until the appeal is finally disposed of or, if the appeal is withdrawn, until the withdrawal of the appeal; and
in the case of a prohibition notice, the bringing of the appeal shall have the same effect as in paragraph (a) only where the appellant so applies and the Appeals Tribunal so directs.
