Enforcement policies
Wiltshire Council is investing additional resources to build the capacity and expertise of its enforcement teams. At the same time, the council's enforcement policies are being reviewed to ensure our approach is transparent, accountable, proportionate, consistent, and targeted.
An assertive and coordinated approach to enforcement will help increase compliance, prevent further infringements, and deter other offenders, in line with our Business Plan commitment to prevention and early intervention.
Our umbrella enforcement policy: Enforcement Policy, October 2024
Service specific enforcement policies, developed in line with our umbrella policy:
- Private Sector Housing (PSH)
- Council Housing
- Environmental Enforcement
- Parking services
- Public Protection
- Planning
As well as clearly and transparently communicating our approach to the public, these policies will be used to inform service specific processes and training, and support coordinated action within the council and other public service partners.
