This Enforcement Policy sits alongside the Council’s Compliance Strategy and provides the practical context for how compliance is applied in our communities. While the Compliance Strategy outlines how we approach regulation, through principles such as fairness, consistency, and proportionality, this policy explains where and why we take enforcement action.
It sets out the circumstances in which the Council may intervene, the tools and responses available, and the factors considered when determining the appropriate course of action. By being transparent about our decision-making, this policy supports public confidence, promotes voluntary compliance, and ensures that enforcement is targeted where it is most needed to protect people, property, and the environment.
Together, the Compliance Strategy and Enforcement Policy provide a clear and balanced framework for achieving positive compliance outcomes across the district.
