A Wallington-based company has been fined £30,000 for failing to clear illegal waste from a site they owned in Croydon.
Spark Properties Ltd was convicted of breaching the Environmental Protection Act 1990 by ignoring an enforcement order to clear waste at 33 Imperial Way. After correspondence and a Section 59ZC notice gave two months to comply, no progress had been made, leading to prosecution.
The company was fined £30,000 and ordered to pay £18,840.28 in costs plus a £2,000 victim surcharge.
