Statutory Nuisance: Law and Practice offers a comprehensive resource for practitioners in the legal and environmental health professions, guiding the reader through the complex practical and legal issues associated with statutory nuisance. It focuses on the problems that local authorities face in enforcing this area, as well as the issues facing those advising defendants. This title examines the role, powers, and duties of the local authorities, and the problems associated with drafting abatement notices and with the prosecution of nuisances. It also covers defences and proceedings brought by private individuals against neighbours and local authority landlords. The book analyses what happens in court, considering in detail the procedure and requirements in appeals against notices and in prosecutions, as well as the grounds for bringing further appeals and judicial review. It covers important recent decisions and key legislation.This new edition provides an update on the various types of statutory nuisance, additional chapters on new forms of statutory nuisance, and expanded material on adjacent areas of enforcement to statutory nuisance, notably those arising from the Anti-Social Behaviour agenda.

Now in its third edition, Statutory Nuisance: Law and Practice is the definitive text on the law and practice of statutory nuisance. The law of statutory nuisance has deep historical roots closely connected with local government. This book outlines the structural framework, the history and concept of statutory nuisance, and the organizational structure and powers of local and central government following the impact of devolution and Brexit. It examines the complex case law around public health law and common law nuisance and discusses other areas of law and practice that overlap with statutory nuisance.Each of the statutory nuisances set out in Part III of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 are analysed, and practice-based chapters examine the regulatory and judicial context of statutory nuisance enforcement. Evidential issues and case preparation for court hearings are covered in detail, including prosecutions by victims and non-lawyers against alleged perpetrators. The book addresses procedural and evidential matters of relevance to lawyers, environmental health practitioners, and enforcement officers, identifying good practice and various potential pitfalls. It includes chapters on human rights, the use and enforcement of abatement notices, appeals, local authority prosecutions, and statutory defences. This new edition addresses issues around planning permission, statutory authority, and other consents. The 'agent of change' principle and deeds of easement applicable to new housing developments are analysed. This edition also covers extensively: housing, licensing, anti-social behaviour provisions, and recent legislation on public nuisance and anti-social behaviour. An Appendix clearly sets out the key legislation referred to in this book.
