Even if it is criminal, it was a minor case, it has been spent, and you did not do anything wrong after that, so if you declare, it will probably not be a big problem.
however if you do not declare, and subsequently they find out (even though it is not on file), you will be definitely rejected.
But if you declare it, then they check records and do not find it, they will be impressed with you honesty.
In order to counter this mistake or error of past, you may also include some good references from your employers, reference from your local councillor, a reference from your neighbour (and or a British citizen, include their passport number etc).
You should get professional advice from a good immigration lawyer.
Also check you CCJ record online, it might just be civil penalty? etc
then you will just declare it in civil judgement section, which is not very serious, so all will be good.
