Officers within Environmental Health experience a wide range of nuisance complaints during the course of a year, including domestic noise, industrial noise, bonfires, overflowing cesspools and septic tanks and offensive accumulations. In the near future, light pollution may also be added to the list of nuisances we deal with.
The great majority of such complaints are dealt with informally by means of negotiation. In instances where persuasion fails, and a statutory nuisance exists, officers are obliged to serve Formal Notices. In the case of activities that have the potential to impact detrimentally on large numbers of people, officers work very closely with Planning colleagues to ensure the most effective use is made of the powers available to the Council as a whole.
