Issue - meetings

HPR2023/029

The Enforcement Plan update was provided by the Enforcement and Appeals Manager. The report was needed, as the Enforcement Plan had not been updated for 10 years. The report made clear who was responsible for different types of enforcement actions. It was noted that a more detailed Enforcement Monitoring Report would be presented to the PDS Committee and the Development Control Committee in due course. This report would show the level of outstanding cases and would explain issues in more detail.

A Member asked if enforcement issues were going up or down and the response was that the enforcement issues were in line with usual trends; there was always a backlog due to the nature of the work. The report also provided useful information on the functions of Building Control and when the Health and Safety Executive should be involved. The Enforcement and Appeals Manager said that any Member was welcome to spend the day with Enforcement Officers to get a better understanding of how they worked.

RESOLVED that the Enforcement Plan Update be noted.
