If a person appeals under this paragraph, the final notice is suspended until the appeal is finally determined or withdrawn. On an appeal under this paragraph the First-tier Tribunal may— quash the final notice, confirm the final notice, vary the final notice by reducing the amount of the financial penalty, or remit to the local authority the decision whether to— withdraw or confirm the final notice, or vary the final notice by reducing the amount of the financial penalty.
