Abstract This book covers all aspects of the law and practice of statutory nuisance as it operates across the UK. It includes coverage of the governance structure from central to local levels, including the individual nations of the UK post devolution within which statutory nuisance operates, and considers the impact of Brexit. The history and concept of the essential elements of statutory nuisance, including the nuisance limb and the prejudicial to health limb, are fully discussed. Each individual statutory nuisance listed within Part III of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 is dealt with in individual chapters, which consider the scope and legal issues around each nuisance. This new third edition incorporates relevant legislative changes including the codification of public nuisance in addition to new case law. Evidential and procedural matters are covered in separate chapters, enabling practitioners and private individuals alike to undertake and manage the procedures, including court actions, in full. The concept of statutory nuisance is also dealt with in contextual and related areas such as statutory authority, planning and the ‘agent of change’ principle, and the anti-social behaviour regulatory regime. The appendices comprise relevant legislation. This book can be used as a comprehensive resource for service of abatement notices, appeals, prosecutions, and other actions, such as judicial review.
