Enforcement Policy
A review of the environmental enforcement
policy was necessitated by amendments to relevant legislation and

operational framework for enforcement activities.
It sets out New Forest District Council’s approach to
environmental enforcement and explains how the council applies
legislation and statutory powers to deliver an effective,
consistent, and transparent enforcement process.
