Decision details

To recommend to Council for approval the Schedule of fees and charges for 2016-2017.

Cabinet considered a report on the schedule of the proposed fees and charges to be levied from 1 April 2016 for 2016-17.

RESOLVED that Cabinet approves the fees and charges for 2016-17 as set out in Appendix A of the report, subject to consideration and approval of the Caravan Site Fee policy in relation to the fees proposed under the Mobile Homes Act 2013.

Reason for the decision:

Cabinet noted that, in the current challenging economic climate, the Council has to perform a balancing act between trying to maximise the additional income that can be generated through fees and charges, but at the same time be careful in setting fee levels which are sustainable and will not adversely impact on its overall income levels. It also needs to be mindful of the impact on residents and the local business community.
