Issue - meetings

Following a report of the Corporate Manager for Public Health, Regulation and Housing, the Homes Policy Development Group made the following recommendation:

·         The Cabinet approve the revised locally set fees and charges as set out in annexes 1 and 2

·         That Cabinet approve the revised Policy on the Use of Financial penalties as set out in Annex 4

The Cabinet were presented a report which provided Members with the revised fees and charges for locally-set Private Sector Housing statutory functions delivered by the Public Health and Housing Options Service. The report also outlined the fees and charges for non-locally set fees in the same service area which were not subject to change but for which an updated policy on financial penalties applies in some areas as set out.

The following was highlighted:

• Though there were increases in charges there was no profiting element to these charges.

RESOLVED:

1.    That Cabinet approve the revised locally-set fees and charges as set out in Annexes 1 and 2.

2.    That the Homes PDG recommends that Cabinet approve the revised Policy on the Use of Financial Penalties in Annex 4.

(Proposed by Cllr S Penny, seconded by Cllr D J Knowles)

Reason for decision – as set out in the report.
