Minutes:
The
Cabinet Member for Planning, Infrastructure and Economic
Development introduced the report, highlighting the urgent update
provided which clarified that a fee increase had been wrongly
attributed to Sandling Road Car Park and updated development
control fees as these had not been set when the report was
published.
The Cabinet Member stated that the proposed fees and charges would
increase income relating to the Committee’s remit by
£250,000, representing a 4.6% increase in budget figures.
There were currently no changes proposed to any car parking
charges, as these were set at a level reflecting demand and
intended to attract visitors to the town centre. Building Control
and planning fees had increased in accordance with central
government changes, with the latter increasing by 35% for major
applications and 25% for all others.
In response to questions, the Cabinet Member stated that he was happy with the planning re-application fee set, with the pre-application increase due to the fee not having been increased in previous years. It was stated that the increase to some of the planning fees arose from being re-grouped into new charging groups, as opposed to increased fees.
RESOLVED to RECOMMEND to the CABINET: That
1.
The contents of the report, be noted;
2.
The Fees & Charges policy, as detailed in
Appendix B to the report, be noted; and
3. The Cabinet be recommended to approve the Fees & Charges as detailed in Appendix A to the report.
