Decision:

 

Cabinet approves the revised schedule of charges set out in the financial statement produced in accordance with Regulation 9 of the Local Authorities (England) (Charges for Property Searches) Regulations 2008 reproduced at Appendix A to report PLA905 to come into effect on 1 September 2011.

 

Considerations/reasons for decision:

 

1)   Report PLA905 by the Economic Development Portfolio Holder and appendices to the report.

2)   The Local Authorities (England) (Charges for Property Searches) Regulations 2008 required local authorities to publish annually a financial statement relating to maintaining and accessing unrefined property data held by the authority.

3)   To ensure the authority can meet the costs of delivering the service and make a contribution to the service.

4)   To mitigate the risk of not reconciling deficit or profit year on year and failing to meet statutory duties. The proposed charges would make good against a deficit from the previous two years.

 

Other options considered:

 

No alternatives were considered, as this was a statutory requirement for the Council.
