Minutes:
Cabinet considered a report on the updated Caravan Site Licence Fees Policy.
RESOLVED that Cabinet:
· approves the ‘Caravan Site Licensing Fee Policy’ for Spelthorne attached in Appendix 2.
· approves delegated authority to the Deputy Chief Executive to approve any future minor amendments to the Caravan Site Licence Fees Policy.
Reasons for the decision:
The licensing scheme is in place to ensure that the health and safety of residents living in caravans and park homes are better protected and that the value of their homes is safeguarded. The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) has issued guidance to local authorities on setting the fee structure, including advice on how fees are to be calculated and the matters that can and cannot be taken into account. As a result the policy required updating.
