Regulation 8 Power of entry without warrant
Subject to paragraph (2), the enforcement authority may enter premises (other than premises used wholly or mainly as a private dwelling) or land at reasonable hours for the purpose of investigating whether there has been a breach of any of the requirements of these Regulations.
Before the enforcement authority exercises the power of entry in paragraph (1) the enforcement authority must serve on the occupier of the premises or land a written notice.
A notice under paragraph (2) must—
be served on the occupier of the premises or land at least two working days before the proposed date of entry;
set out the reason for which entry is required; and
specify the proposed date of entry.
When requested, suitable identification and authorisation must be produced to the occupier of the premises or land by the enforcement authority.
