I would like to request information under the Freedom of Information Act (or Environmental Information Regulations, as appropriate). Please can you provide information that describes the typical sequence of stages that takes place between a member of the public raising concerns about a potential breach of Building Regulations and action being taken (such as being heard in the Magistrates Court or fines being issued). I'm particularly interested in identifying at what point the process can be considered to be a criminal investigation, and what steps need to first take place in order for this point to be reached. Perhaps you have a flowchart or an internal policy document that describes the expected sequence of events. I'm happy to receive the information in electronic format via this email address.
