Enforcement Policy
Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council aim to protect the safety and welfare of people, including members of the public, who may be exposed to risks from the way that licensable activities are carried out, and to protect the interests of those that could be adversely affected by such activities when carried out by unlicensed individuals/companies/organisations.
Occasionally it is necessary for us to take enforcement action where informal approaches do not result in improved standards. The Council has adopted the principles of the Central and Local Government Concordat on Good Enforcement and due regard, where appropriate, will be given to guidance issued by the Local Authorities Coordinators of Regulators Services and Department of Culture, Media and Sports.
