14/03/2019 - Policy for imposing financial penalties under the Housing Act 2004 and Housing and Planning Act 2016 ref: 4561    Recommendations Approved

The council has a statutory duty to take action to improve unsafe private sector homes in the Thanet area, and in pursuance of that duty it undertakes a range of enforcement activities. Owing to recent legislative changes, the council now has the power to impose a financial (civil) penalty of up to £30,000 as an alternative to prosecution for certain housing offences. However, before the council can issue financial penalties for such offences, it must first have an adopted policy in accordance with statutory guidance issued by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
