Matter for
Decision
In 2014 the new enforcement policy was
adopted. The Policy included a provision for it to be reviewed after three
years. This report reviewed the policy and allowed for amendments to be completed
taking into account operational and legislative changes. It has also accounted
for feedback that the Council had received.
The review resulted in the policy
remaining broadly unchanged but with minor amendments and additions to wording
and clarity around enforcement activity, principles of enforcement and other
considerations.
The
Service Standards for each of the different functions that were appendices to
the main enforcement policy may from time to time be subject to change, these,
unless significantly changed would not need committee approval and could be
agreed by the relevant head of service.
