This may be used as grounds for appeal against the abatement notice or a defence (if prosecuted) for not complying with the abatement notice. Only the courts can determine what the best practicable means are in each case, taking into account, among other things, the local conditions and circumstances, the current state of technical knowledge and the financial implications.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 26/02/2020 13:06:58 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
