These Regulations amend the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984 ("the 1984 Regulations"). Regulation 2(2) applies specified provisions of Part 6 of the 1997 Act to enforcement notices served under the 1984 Regulations. These introduce powers to serve stop notices in respect of enforcement action taken where there is a breach of the 1984 Regulations and make it an offence to fail to comply with an enforcement notice or stop notice.
