The
Committee considered the report of Mrs Neale, the Senior Licensing
Manager which set the fee levels for implementation on 1 April 2019
subject to the consideration of any representations following
consultation.
In
response to questions from the Committee, Officers advised
that:-
·
The fees were reviewed annually and this year there
had only been a 2.5% inflationary increase. If the Council was not in a partnership arrangement then it was probable that
the fees would have been even higher.
·
The fees for animal welfare facilities would be
reviewed in 12 months as agreed at the last meeting of the
Committee but it would be the intention for the fees to fall in
line eventually with all the others.
RESOLVED: That:
1)
The fees levels as set out in paragraphs 2.7, 2.9,
2.11, 2.13, 2.15 and 2.17 in the report be approved for implementation on 1 April 2019
subject to the consideration of any representations following
consultation.
