If you can't answer that yourself from the passage you quoted,
try reading the "READ THIS FIRST" sticky.

35 in a 20 limit is likely to see five points. Whilst not
entirely a mathematical exercise, the band of seriousness for
which the recommendation is 4-6 points covers 31-40 mph.

My brother completed the Notice of Intended Prosecution, with
the agreement of the investigating officer that it was still
within time to do so. Today, a letter dated 13.03.2025 was
received:
"Thank you for your recent communication relating to the alleged
offence involving vehicle XXXXXX on 19/09/2024 at XX:XX at
XXXXXXXXXXXX.
Unfortunately, due to the high speed you was travelling at, this
offence has been referred to the prosecution team . Court
proceedings are being initiated and in due course you will
receive a further communication which will explin the options
available to you."
Is this standard procedure?

Yes.
Fixed penalties offered up to 34mph. 35mph is via court
process.

It wouldn't matter if it is or not. The matter would go to court
anyway. It is far too late for any other disposal (as it was
when you first posted this and as I have been suggesting since
post #13).
The only thing that surprises me is that the police accepted
such a late nomination from your brother.

So what’s to stop the police officer or cps prosecuting for FTF,
Speeding and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
With the s172 now filled out and signed the they have all the
evidence they need for the other two charges.
And if they find out about the other incident where this cunning
wheeze worked I foresee the op”s brother spending some time at
Charlie III’s leisure.
