We work with businesses and the community to protect the health and environment of people who work, visit and live in Lichfield District.
The Enforcement Policy sets out standards of enforcement that businesses, individuals and the community as a whole can expect from the Regulation and Enforcement Service. The policy covers our objectives and methods for achieving compliance and outlines the criteria we consider when deciding the most appropriate response to any breach of legislation or other regulatory framework.
We have also produced an annex to this report which deals specifically with private sector housing civil penalties and provides guidance on the powers introduced by the Housing and Planning Act 2016.
The policy will be reviewed following significant changes to relevant legislation or Government guidance.
