The Housing and Planning Act 2016 provides new powers for local authorities to impose a civil penalty of up to £30,000 as an alternative to prosecution for a range of offences under the Housing Act 2004. These powers came into force on 6 April 2017. The Government does not collect data on the number of civil penalties issued
