Who enforces dust control and monitoring requirements on construction projects?

In the UK, enforcement usually falls to local authorities through planning departments and environmental health teams. They can request monitoring data, investigate complaints, and issue notices if dust is poorly controlled.

The Environment Agency may also be involved for large or high-risk industrial projects. On the worker-protection side, HSE (Health and Safety Executive) enforces silica and occupational dust exposure, but that's more about worker health than boundary dust affecting neighbours.

So, most boundary dust enforcement is done locally, but multiple regulators may overlap depending on the site.
