Interesting information from the North Somerset Council

Re: Interesting information from the North Somerset Council

Just to throw a really tiny spanner into the works - I read that bit to say that they're allowed to reach through an open window and thus open a door from the inside in order to enter if it's possible to do so by hand without using any force - not that they're allowed to climb through the window.

Don't know at all whether this is, in fact, allowable. :tinysmile_hmm_t2: x

Mode of entry or re-entry to premises


20.

The enforcement agent may enter relevant or specified premises under paragraph 14 or 15 of

Schedule 12 respectively, or re-enter premises under paragraph 16 of Schedule 12, only by—

(a)
any door, or any usual means by which entry is gained to the premises (for example, aloading bay to premises where a trade or business is carried on); or

(b)
any usual means of entry, where the premises are a vehicle, vessel, aircraft, hovercraft, a tent or other moveable structure.

I see no mention of reaching through a window, and would not think many would consider that 'a usual means by which entry is gained to the premises.'
