If, on carrying out the necessary checks under subsection (9A), the LTA is not satisfied that the owner of the development had in fact installed the electrical infrastructure and charging points at the development in compliance with subsection (1), the LTA may issue a remedial notice to the owner of the development requiring the owner —

to do so within the period specified in the remedial notice, or any extension of that period that the LTA may allow in any particular case.”; and
