To confirm and sign as a correct record the Minutes of the meeting held on 7 November 2023 (Appendix ‘A’).

The Minutes of the meeting of the Committee held on 7 November 2023, were confirmed and signed as a correct record.

Apologies for absence were received from Councillor R Davies.

Members are invited to declare any disclosable pecuniary interests or other registrable and non-registrable interests in items on the agenda.

There were no declarations of interest other than those already declared and available on the Council’s website.

The Committee was asked to approve the fees and charges associated with the licensing of caravan sites in the borough to be effective from 1 April 2024.

This item was deferred from the last meeting of the Committee to allow Officers to clarify a discrepancy appearing in the budget book with regard to the charge for a new application for a site licence for a single unit site.

Officers confirmed that the correct charge was being levied, but the budget book had not been updated to reflect it following a recent review, so it appeared that the increase in charge for 2024 was a greater percentage than in reality.

The Resources, Legal and Equality implications were noted.

Accordingly, the Committee was content to approve the suite of fees and charges as set out in the report.

Resolved that –

The licence fees as set out in the report, be approved, to be included in the relevant fee policies to apply from 1 April 2024.

There were no exempt or confidential items on the agenda.
