Principles of enforcement and supporting compliance
Building Control standards are enforced having regards to the Regulators Code, the Code for Crown Prosecutors and (if applicable) the councils Regulatory Services Enforcement Policy.
This means that the Building Control team will be open, helpful and fair to ensure that any enforcement action is proportionate to the risks.
- Sanctions should change the behaviour of the offender.
- Sanctions should ensure that there is no financial benefit obtained by non-compliance.
- Sanctions should be responsive and consider what is appropriate for the particular offender and the particular regulatory issue.
- Sanctions should be proportionate to the nature of the offence and harm caused.
- Sanctions should aim to restore the harm caused by regulatory non-compliance.
