Part XI: HOUSES IN MULTIPLE OCCUPATION

The local housing authority may at any time, on the application of a person having an estate or interest in the premises—

revoke an overcrowding notice, or
vary it so as to allow more people to be accommodated on the premises.

If the authority refuse such an application, or do not within 35 days from the making of the application (or such further period as the applicant may in writing allow) notify the applicant of their decision, the applicant may appeal to the county court.

On an appeal the court may revoke the notice or vary it in any manner in which it might have been varied by the local housing authority.
