Response

I would like to request the following documentation:

A: Details on the Enforcement Policy for Building Control can be found on Herefordshire Council’s website at Building control services – Herefordshire Council.

A: Building Control adhere to the corporate standards currently and whilst we don’t have a service policy it is something that we will look to develop in the near future, in conjunction with the Building Control Manager when they commence in the post.
