There is confidence that appropriate remedial action will be taken.
The consequence of non-compliance has not posed a serious risk to the occupants of the premises.
If asked, we will always confirm any advice we give in writing. Formal enforcement or legal action will normally only be taken in exceptional circumstances where:
There is a failure to respond to an informal approach to comply with the law.
There is evidence of serious risk of harm to the occupants of the premises.
There is a flagrant breach of the law.
The situation is one where an ordinary person would recognise that immediate action should be taken.
We will strive to ensure that enforcement action is fair and the cost of remedial work is reasonable compared to the seriousness of the problem.
