Communities and Environment Enforcement Policy

8.1 Proceedings will be taken against the person responsible for the offence. Where a company is involved, it is likely we will also prosecute the company where the offence resulted from its activities. It is also likely that action will be taken against a manager, director or other officer of the company where it can be shown that the offence was committed with their consent, involvement, was due to their neglect, or that they 'turned a blind eye' to the offending.
