The council has statutory responsibility for enforcing housing standards, ensuring homes do not give rise to injury or illness to the occupiers and are warm and energy efficient.

Shropshire Council’s Private Sector Housing Enforcement Policy describes how and where the council uses these powers in a proportionate manner, having applied risk-based approaches to intervention.

If you have any comments or feedback on the policy, please email us at privatesectorhousing@shropshire.gov.uk via the contact details section on this page.
