Decision:

Decision

 

That the adoption of the Housing Standards Enforcement Policy and Statement of Principles for determining Financial Penalties 2020-2025, be approved.

 

Reason for the Decision

 

In April 2019 all existing Housing Enforcement Policies novated to the new Dorset Council. These policies remain in force until 31st March 2021 or until a new policy supersedes them. The formation of Dorset Council on the 1 April 2019 required that the Council adopt one new Enforcement Policy and Statement of Principles for determining Financial Penalties across the new council area.  The new policy is not significantly different from those of the original sovereign councils. They have been amalgamated and updated to reflect changes in legislation and good practice.
