The Head of Regulatory Services and Community Safety will submit a report to seek agreement to the licence fees for 2020/21 where the Council has discretion over the level of fee charged. The report will be published as a Supplement to the agenda.

The Head of Regulatory Services and Community Safety had submitted a report to seek agreement of the licence fees for 2020/21 where the Council has discretion over the level of fee charged.

The Principal Environmental Health Officer introduced the report, reminding the Committee of the wide spectrum of activities covered by it and which related solely to the functions of the Business Regulation Team.  

While an inflationary increase was proposed to the previous year’s fees and charges, it was not proposed to increase those for Street Trading Consent so as to promote and support street trading in the City.

The Committee resolved to:

Agree the licence fees and charges for 2020/21 as set out in Appendix A and recommend them to Council.
