What is the last calendar date before an enforcement notice takes effect?

Section 130 requires the appeal before the actual taking-effect date specified in the enforcement notice. The calculator identifies the prior calendar date. It does not assume 28 days from service. Written giving, prepaid post and electronic communication must satisfy their distinct statutory tests before the taking-effect date. Actual grounds, particulars, notice validity and any changed notice remain separate.
