60 Charging for Discretionary Environmental Health Services pdf icon PDF 94 KB

Minutes:

The Mid Kent Environmental Health Manager presented the report on discretionary fees for Environmental health services.  It was noted that the amounts of income were low, and that other Councils had been charging similar fees for about 2 years.

 

Questions were raised as to why the amount of contaminated land searches were so low given the number of land charges transactions that took place.  The officer undertook to provide clarification on this point outside of the meeting.

 

RESOLVED:

 

1.  That the adoption of discretionary charges for pre-application planning advice on acoustic, air quality and contaminated land assessments be approved;

 

2.  That the adoption of discretionary charges for Enhanced Contaminated Land reports be approved; and

 

3.  That the adoption of discretionary charges for advice to business for food hygiene be approved.
