Minutes:
Consideration was given to the report which referred to the adopted General Enforcement Policy.
Following work to strengthen the Council’s enforcement functions, the General Enforcement Policy had been reviewed in order to ensure that the Policy remained up-to-date.
This report, therefore, requested the approval of a number of minor amendments within the Policy which, together with enhanced clarity, reflected the Council’s progress since the review and update of 2016 and referred to:-
Update 1: Structural Changes
Update 2: Restoration of Licensing powers to the Council
Update 3: Clarification of the flexibility contained within the Regulator’s Code which allowed officers to vary from the Policy and enforce at a later date.
Resolved:- That the suggested amendments to strengthen the Council’s General Enforcement Policy made at 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 of this report be approved for adoption.
