Regulation 38 Surcharges: procedure
Where Natural England imposes a surcharge under this Chapter, it must give a notice to every person on whom the surcharge is imposed.
A notice under paragraph (1) must include—
the date of the notice;
the amount of the surcharge;
the relevant amount in respect of which the surcharge is imposed;
if the surcharge is imposed under regulation 36 (late payment)—
when the due date was for that relevant amount;
the possible consequences if the relevant amount remains unpaid, including any possibility that further surcharges may be imposed;
if the surcharge is imposed under regulation 37 (failure to notify material change), a description of the material change in the details of the relevant development;
the person’s right to appeal against the surcharge, including how the person may do so and applicable time limits.
Where a surcharge is imposed on more than one person, each is jointly and severally liable to pay the surcharge.
A person’s liability to pay a relevant amount cannot be discharged until all surcharges which have been imposed on the person in respect of the relevant amount are paid in full.
