Outside Greater London it is the duty of each enforcement authority to set the level of charges applicable in the case of contraventions for which they are the enforcement authority.

Different levels of charges may be set for different parts of a civil enforcement area and for different cases or classes of case.

The levels of charges set by enforcement authorities under this Part of this Schedule must (subject to sub-paragraph (3)) accord with guidelines appended to an order made by the appropriate national authority.

Different guidelines may be given for different cases or classes of case.

An enforcement authority may, with the permission of the appropriate national authority, depart from any such guidelines.
