1

When serving a compliance notice on an occupier of land, a local authority may impose a charge on the occupier as a means of recovering expenses incurred by them—

a

b

in preparing and serving the notice or a demand under subsection (3).

2

The expenses referred to in subsection (1) include in particular the costs of obtaining expert advice (including legal advice).

The power under subsection (1) is exercisable by serving the compliance notice together with a demand which sets out—

a

the total expenses the local authority seek to recover under subsection (1) (“relevant expenses”),

b

a detailed breakdown of the relevant expenses, and

c

where the local authority propose to charge interest under section 9I, the rate at which the relevant expenses carry interest.

Where a tribunal allows an appeal under section 9A against the compliance notice with which a demand was served, it may make such order as it considers appropriate—

confirming, reducing or quashing any charge under this section made in respect of the notice, and

b

varying the demand as appropriate in consequence.
