The Compliance and Enforcement Policy helps promote efficient and effective approaches to regulatory inspection and enforcement, and to improve regulatory outcomes without imposing unnecessary burdens.

We developed the policy following consultation with stakeholders, including:

  • Businesses we regulate
  • Members of the public
  • Council officers
  • Partner agencies

Peterborough City Council Regulatory Services, including planning compliance are committed to offering a service that has regard to the principles of good regulation. We aim to be:

  • Proportionate
  • Accountable
  • Consistent 
  • Transparent 
  • Targeted

The purpose of this document is to outline and communicate our policy in respect of how we deal with non-compliance with legal requirements. It is accessible to businesses and persons that we regulate as well as the general public who may be affected by our regulatory activities.
