To consider the report of the Service Lead - Environmental Health & Community Safety.
Additional documents:
Minutes: The Licensing Committee received the annual report for the proposed licensing fees and charges for 2024/25. The Committee had a statutory responsibility to set fees for the year which related to the cost of performing the various Licensing functions. Members were referred to appendices attached to the report, which listed all the fees levied by the Licensing Authority. The Service Lead - Environmental Health & Community Safety explained that Appendix A summarised the Council’s powers to set its fees in respect of licensing applications, and any limitations on those powers, and Appendix B listed all the fees levied by the Licensing Authority as of last year and the proposed fees for 2024/26. He highlighted:- · Exeter City Council’s (ECC) administrative duty to set fees; · how the fees relating to the Licensing Act and the Gambling Act were prescribed in law; · how fees could only be collected from a cost-recovery perspective as opposed to as a money-making enterprise; · the proposed change for street trading licences to a Part A / Part B system.
Responding to queries from Members, the Service Lead - Environmental Health & Community Safety explained that:-
RESOLVED that the proposed Fees and Charges for the period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 be approved, as set out in Appendix B of the report.
