Housing Services Charging Policy Modifications
Decision Maker: Cabinet Member - Homes and Planning
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
The Housing Services Charging Policy 2014 sets out the rechargeable services provided and how the charges are calculated and recovered. Charges have been reviewed and we are proposing that the Policy is modified to include new and revised charges.
Decision:
The Cabinet Member agrees that the modified Housing Services Charging Policy is adopted.
Reasons for the decision:
The rationale of the uplifted and new charges is supported by the following principles. Firstly, that it is either a statutory requirement or reasonable to make the charge. Secondly, that the costs are set at recovering some, or all, of our expenditure associated with the activity rather than making a surplus. Finally that the charges are articulated in a policy that is clear, accurate and freely available.
Alternative options considered:
None.
