To consider a report of the Director of Economy, Transport and Environment regarding the Monitoring and Enforcement work undertaken by Strategic Planning during the period March 2021 – May 2021. A review has also been undertaken of the County’s Local Enforcement Plan which was originally reported and published in 2018.

The Committee received the Monitoring and Enforcement update from the Head of Strategic Planning (item 7 in the minute book), which covered March 2021 until May 2021.

Members were taken through the report, along with the Local Enforcement Plan.

It was explained that whilst there were powers in place to cease activity on site, enforcement was avoided unless necessary and regular visits and close liaison with site operators helped instil good working habits.

It was confirmed that inspections had originally been hindered during lockdown restrictions, a special dispensation had since been given in August 2020 to assist with site monitoring.

RESOLVED

The contents of this report were noted and the updated Local Enforcement Plan was approved subject to the finalisation of the document and formatting.
