Decision details

(Time: 3.31pm to 3.32pm)

The Executive received and considered report 21/08 of the Strategic Director, which contained proposals to update this Council’s scheme of charges relating to Building Regulations, Direct Services Organisation (DSO), and Address Management. 

The changes were intended to ensure that they did not fall below the “proper costs” of the service provided; the charges were maintained at competitive and reasonable levels; and they continued to represent best value and the provision of a quality service.  The Executive supported the proposed charges.
