An improvement notice or a prohibition notice may include directions as to the measures to be taken to remedy any contravention or matter to which the notice relates; and any such directions may be framed so as to afford the person on whom the notice is served a choice between different ways of remedying the contravention or matter.
An improvement notice or a prohibition notice shall not direct any measures to be taken to remedy the contravention of any of the relevant statutory provisions that are more onerous than those necessary to secure compliance with those provisions.
Where an improvement notice or a prohibition notice that is not to take immediate effect has been served —
the notice may be withdrawn by an inspector at any time before the end of the period specified in it; and
the period so specified is subject to extension by an inspector at any time when a reference to arbitration in respect of the notice is not pending under section 423.
