Environment and Regulatory Enforcement Policy

The Council is required to carry out its enforcement and regulatory approach in a fair and consistent manner across the city. In doing so the Council will act in accordance with the standards set out in this policy and any other supplementary policy. Where appropriate this policy will be underpinned by more detailed service specific policies which are not contained here but will be available on the Councils website, they will link to the standards below

We may:

• Provide clear advice and guidance to those we could potentially enforce and regulate to help them meet their responsibilities, including through the Councils website, printed information, face to face visits
• Provide ways to engage with those we could potentially enforce and regulate to hear their views e.g. Stakeholder groups such as Pub Watch

We will:

• Ensure that staff are properly trained and adhere to the Council’s policy and values and behaviours
• Ensure our approach is in line with the principles of good regulation
• Take immediate action where appropriate to protect people, animals and infrastructure
