Decision Made
That the revised Civil Penalty Policy and associated matrices be adopted.
Reason for Decision
1. To enable the Council to continue to effectively deal with breaches of housing legislation, as an alternative to prosecution.
2. To enable the Council to consistently, and fairly, issue civil penalties for the Electrical Safety Standards (Private Rented Sector) Regulations 2020.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected
The existing policy has been in operation some time and following its use, and although is still in operation, has been found to require amendment. Should this revision not take place, the Council would be open to challenge by appeal to a Tribunal by those to which a penalty has been issued.
Any Declarations of Interest Declared
Councillor Craig Rivett declared a Local Non-Pecuniary Interest in the item as a landlord.
Any Dispensation Granted
None.
