Number of Nuisance Smell Complaints
Dear Darlington Borough Council,
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the number of nuisance smell complaints received by the council for the following periods:
1st Jan 2024-29th February 2024
1st Jan 2023-31st December 2023
1st Jan 2022- 31st December 2022
1st Jan 2021- 31st December 2021
To be clear, I am referring to complaints made about nuisance smells that could be a ‘statutory nuisance’ (covered by the Environmental Protection Act 1990) as defined in this guidance from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nuisance-sme...
If possible, please could you break down the number of odour complaints, by type.
If you require any further information or clarification please let me know.
Yours faithfully,
Amber Charnley
