Licensing Fees and Charges 2023-2024 PDF 96 KB Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee was asked to approve the fees and charges under the Licensing Act 2003.
Members were disappointed that because the ability to set fees locally had not yet been through Parliament, the legislation was understood to be in draft form, the deficit now stood at approximately £25,500 for 2023/2024. The fees had remained unchanged since their introduction and had not kept up with inflation. However, the Council’s costs had not increased significantly, therefore the deficit had been at this level since 2018.
RESOLVED that –
The proposed fees and charges as set out in Appendix A of the agenda be approved, to be effective from the dates within the appendix, or as soon as practical thereafter |

Exclusion of Press and Public Minutes: There were no confidential or exempt items on the agenda. |
