Environmental Offences (Fixed Penalties) (Miscellaneous Provisions) Regulations 2007 (S.I. No. 175 of 2007).

These Regulations prescribe the parameters and method of calculation of fixed penalties that may be specified by competent authorities under environment protection legislation, including: the Environmental Protection Act 1990, the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005, the Noise Act 1996 and the Control of Pollution (Amendment) Act 1989. These penalties shall be imposed in place of the amount prescribed in the relevant Statute. The Regulations also prescribe the minimum amount of fixed penalty that a local authority may treat as full payment of the fixed penalty where a lesser amount than the full-prescribed amount is paid within a specified period. The Regulations also prescribe the condition that must be satisfied before a person may be an authorized officer of a parish council for the purposes of giving a notice of a fixed penalty.
