Revised Fees & Charges for the Building Control & Public Protection Service 2022/23 (WL)

Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for PIanning and Licensing

Decision status: Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

This is to seek approval for the revised fees and charges for the Building Control & Public Protection teams for 2022/23

Decision:

The Cabinet Member agrees for:

 

1.1  Formal adoption of the new fees and charges for Building Control & Public Protection (BC&PP), as proposed.

1.2  That these are to be implemented on 1 April 2022 to minimise the loss of potential income to the Authority.

1.3  That delegated authority be given to the Head of BC&PP to agree fees and charges (where in accordance with the financial plan) which vary from the standard inflation clause if the cost base changes, or new services are introduced and that this can be done throughout the year if external factors influence the cost base significantly throughout the financial year.

Reasons for the decision:

These proposals are in line with the budget for 2022/23 approved by Council in February 2022. Fees and charges are designed to recover cost and, where permissible in accordance with Statutory and Regulatory regimes, to generate income to contribute to the overall cost of delivering Council Services.

Alternative options considered:

None.
