The Cabinet considered a report of the Executive Director (Neighbourhoods and Environment) setting out for consideration an Environment & Regulatory Enforcement Policy.

Resolved:-

1. That the progress with the enforcement review, be noted.

2. That the Environment & Regulatory Enforcement Policy at Appendix 1 to the submitted report, be approved.

Reason for Decision:

The Environment & Regulatory Enforcement Policy provides an overarching enforcement policy, identifying the universally shared principles that all enforcement services will adhere to whilst also making clear the unified objective of enforcement across the Borough.

Other Options:

To continue with individual enforcement policies in each service area.  However, this can lead to an inconsistent approach to enforcement.

Note: This is an Executive Function
