The Anti-social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014 has changed the ways local authorities should respond to neighbour and behavioural nuisances. SNS has developed a one-day course to train staff working in anti-social behaviour and housing teams on the legal and practice implications of the changes. Do contact us if your local authority or housing association needs training in the use of Community Protection Notices and injunctions, or you want to know more about how these provisions link with statutory nuisance.
SNS wrote the December 2017 revisions to the CIEH Professional Practice Note: Guidance on the use of Community Protection Notices. Download here: Guidance on use of CPNs,rev.Sept17, final draft, incl.inj.
Our article in Environmental Health News on this Guidance can be found here: 24-25_EHN_DecJan1819
We have also written an article in Environmental Health News discussing the High Court decision of Southampton CC v Odysseas Ltd [2017], in which the relationship between statutory noise nuisance and anti-social behaviour powers was considered: p23_EHN_June18_Legal.pdf, Southampton CC
