(3)  A planning authority to which a certificate is issued under subsection (1) is responsible for the enforcement of the permit to which the certificate relates to the extent that the permit deals with matters which would normally be within the jurisdiction of the planning authority.

(4)  A planning authority which, under subsection (3) , is responsible for the enforcement of a permit may recover the reasonable costs of enforcing the permit from the holder of the permit.

(5)  Costs which are payable to a planning authority under subsection (4) may be recovered as a debt in any court of competent jurisdiction.
