Appeal a fly-tipping fixed penalty notice

If we've sent you a fly-tipping fixed penalty notice you don't agree with, you can use our webform to appeal against it.

When can you challenge a fly-tipping fixed penalty notice?

You can challenge the decision, but you will need to demonstrate that:

  • no offence was committed, or the fixed penalty notice has been wrongly issued 
  • the offence wasn't the fault of the person against whom the notice was served, and there was nothing they could do to prevent the offence 
  • we shouldn't have served the notice because the offender is under 18, or is physically or mentally incapacitated or has some other incapacity that prevent them from understanding that they committed an offence
  • there are significant circumstances that temporarily affected the ability of the person to comply with the law
  • serving the notice is not considered to be in the public interest 

In order to serve a fixed penalty notice, we will have evidence that an offence was committed by the person. Any appeal must clearly show the reasons why the fixed penalty notice should be cancelled. You will need to give us evidence you have, such as photos or witnesses so we can fully consider your appeal.

Please note, this form is for fixed penalty appeals in Hart district only. You should contact your local council if you wish to appeal any penalty notice you have received in other areas.
