In addition to other remedies, the Township may institute and maintain appropriate actions by law or in equity to restrain, correct or abate violations or to prevent illegal occupancy of a building, structure or premises. A description by metes and bounds in the instrument of transfer or other documents used in the process of selling or transferring shall not exempt the seller or transferor from such penalties or from the remedies herein provided.
A. 
The Township may refuse to issue any permit or grant any approval necessary to further improve or develop any real property which has been developed or which has resulted from a subdivision of real property in violation of any amendment adopted pursuant to this chapter. This authority to deny such a permit or approval shall apply to the following applicants:
(1) 
The owner of record at the time of such violation.
(2) 
The vendee or lessee of the owner of record at the time of such violation without regard as to whether such vendee or lessee had actual or constructive knowledge of the violation.
(3) 
The current owner of record who acquired the property subsequent to the time of violation without regard as to whether such current owner had actual or constructive knowledge of the violation.
(4) 
The vendee or lessee of the current owner of record who acquired the property subsequent to the time of violation without regard as to whether such vendee or lessee had actual or constructive knowledge of the violation.
B. 
As an additional condition for issuance of a permit or the granting of an approval to any such owner, current owner, vendee or lessee for the development of any such real property, the Township may require compliance with the conditions that would have been applicable to the property at the time the applicant acquired an interest in such real property and abate all violations noted.

Should any section, clause, provision or portion of this chapter be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect or impair the validity of any other section, clause, provision or portion of this chapter.
2. 
It is hereby declared to be the intent of the Board of Supervisors that this chapter would have been adopted had such invalid or unconstitutional provision not been included herein, and the remaining portions of this chapter shall remain in effect as though the portion declared invalid or unconstitutional had never been a part hereof.
