EPC's
Received: 4 April 2023
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am writing to request information on the enforcement of Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) and Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for both commercial and residential properties in your council area.
Specifically, I would like to request the following information:
Residential
* The number of EPC breaches identified in residential properties in your council area since the MEES was established in 2015 and first implemented in April 2018.
* The total number of fines issued for EPC breaches in residential properties in your council area since the introduction of MEES, along with the total value of these fines.
* The number of EPCs for residential properties in your council area that remain uncompliant with MEES.
Commercial
* The number of EPC breaches identified in commercial properties in your council area since the recent MEES was established on 1st April 2023.
* The total number of fines issued for EPC breaches in commercial properties in your council area since the introduction of MEES, along with the total value of these fines.
* The number of EPCs for commercial properties in your council area that remain uncompliant with MEES.
I would also like to know your policy/procedures for fining parties in breach of MEES or EPC regulations and if your council has a publicly available register or list of properties that have breached the above-mentioned MEES or EPC regulations that you can send.
Lastly, do you offer any 'whistleblowing' referrals, or is this is a service which you would consider outsourcing.
