Enforcement Protocol & Associated Policy

The Planning and Public Protection Service has adopted the Enforcement Concordat promoted by the Government’s Cabinet Office.  The National Concordat is a Good Practice Guide for England and Wales and focuses on the principles of good enforcement.

Planning & Public Protection, as a regulatory service, feel the need to have an underlying Enforcement Policy supporting the National Concordat, in order to promote greater consistency and balance across the Service.

The purpose of the Enforcement Protocol and Associated Policy is to set out what businesses and individuals can expect from us when enforcing the law.  At the same time, the protocol and associated policy commits our enforcement officers to carrying out enforcement activities in a fair and consistent manner, being open and transparent, helpful and proportional.
