Recommendation from the meeting of the Environment Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 26 March 2018 on approval of a Policy covering the enforcement work of a number of Council teams.

(1)        The Decision Taken

RESOLVED:

That the draft Corporate Enforcement Policy, as set out in Appendix A of the report of the Corporate Director (Public Protection, Planning and Governance) to the meeting of the Environment Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 26 March 2018, be agreed and recommended to the Council for approval.

(2)        Reasons for the Decision

The Council was responsible for regulating and enforcing a number of legal provisions and the “Regulators code” set out the requirements and expectations for good enforcement. In order to ensure the Council adhered to the principles of good enforcement, the current corporate enforcement policy had been updated to reflect current working arrangements. The new policy was agreed at the Environment and Overview Scrutiny Committee.
