Civil penalties policy

This policy outlines the setting of the level of a civil penalty in each case where it has been determined to issue a civil penalty as an alternative to prosecution proceedings.

We have the power to impose a civil penalty of up to a maximum of £30,000 for each separate offence. If multiple offenders have committed the same offence at the same property, a separate civil penalty can, and usually will, be imposed on each offender. In each case, the level of civil penalty imposed on each offender will be in line with this policy.
