Decision:

That the new animal licensing fees as set out at Appendix A to the report be approved.

Minutes:

The Lead Member for Regulation & Consumer Protection and the Licensing Manager introduced a report that sought approval of the proposed fees for new licenses under the Animal Welfare Licensing Regulations.

 

The new legislation came into effect on 1st October 2018 and the fees had been calculated in line with national guidance.  The fees needed to be approved in order for existing operators to submit their application with the new fee before 31st December 2018.  Members discussed the fee structure and it was noted that the level of fees had been set to recover the anticipated costs and would be reviewed in the future.  The new fees were approved.

 

Resolved –  That the new animal licensing fees as set out at Appendix A to the report be approved.
