380: Existing notices which continue in effect

You could also call this:

“Notices given before this law started still apply and must be followed”

If you receive a notice under certain laws before this Act starts, it still applies. You will follow the rules of the law that the notice was given under, as if this Act did not exist. This includes notices given under laws like the Noise Control Act 1982, the Town and Country Planning Act 1977, the Harbours Act 1950, and the Clean Air Act 1972.

These laws have sections that deal with things like noise, planning, harbour rules, and air quality. You will still have to follow the rules in these sections, even after this Act starts. The laws that the notices were given under will continue to apply to you.

You will have to keep following the rules in these laws, such as keeping noise down, following planning rules, and keeping the air clean. The notices you received will still be in effect, and you will have to do what they say. This means that you will have to follow the rules that were in place before this Act started.
