The Executive received and considered report 79/07 of the Strategic Director and Chief Finance Officer regarding proposals to update the Council’s Scheme of Charges for Building Regulations.  The changes were intended to ensure that the charges:

• did not fall below the “proper costs” of the service provided
• were maintained at competitive and reasonable levels
• were presented in a simple and logical format and
• continued to represent best value and the provision of a quality service

The Executive supported the proposals.
