Report of the Cabinet Member Development and Safety

RESOLVED THAT

1.      the amendments to the current Corporate Enforcement Policy attached in Appendix 2 be approved

2.      the amended Corporate Enforcement Policy be approved

3.      the Director of Environmental and Regulatory Services be authorised to make amendments to the adopted Policy as required to reflect changes in legislation or guidance and codes of practice where a full review of the Policy is not warranted.

The Cabinet Member Development and Safety introduced the report and explained that the Policy was being reviewed and updated to take account of changes in legislation and the introduction of a new Regulators Code. He referred to Appendix B which listed the new advice and guidance now included in the policy and said that there had not been any substantive changes to what was already implemented. Reference was also made to the fact that legal advice had been received to say the Policy did not require Council approval which had originally been indicated in the report.
