Rights to make representations and objections
A person who is issued with a notice of intent has 28 days to make any objections or representations in writing.
You will need to send your written objections or representations to:
Trading Standards Manager
Parkhouse Building

In the case of a fine, a person can clear their liability by paying £100 within 28 days of the issue of the notice.
Final Notice
28 days after we issue the notice of intent, and having considered any objections or representations, we must decide whether or not to issue the fine or compliance notice.
The notice will include:
- the grounds for imposing the penalty
- the amount to be paid
- how payment may be made
- the period within which payment must be made
- how to appeal
- the consequences of failing to pay the fine or comply with the notice
Right to Appeal
The person receiving the final notice may appeal against it if they think:
- we made an error in the facts
- we didn’t apply the law properly
- our decision was unreasonable
Anyone wishing to appeal a final decision should do so in writing to The First Tier Tribunal General Regulatory Chamber.
Failure to pay the fine or to take the action detailed in the compliance notice will result in consideration of further action.
Details of how to pay a fine are detailed in the final notice.
