To consider a report of the Head of Regulatory Services.
Minutes:
The Head of Regulatory Services submitted a report requesting Members approve the proposed fees for licences relating to activities involving animals.
The Sub-Committee were informed that new legislation under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018 had come into force on 1st October 2018. This new law replaces previous licensing regimes and also introduces a national licensing scheme whereby all licences are issued under the same conditions with a mandatory rating and risk rating methodology.
The Sub-Committee were also informed that the existing licences will remain in force until they expire on 31st December 2018. The existing licence holders have been written to in order to explain the changes and the Council’s website has been amended to provide information on the new licensing arrangements.
The proposed fees are set on a cost recovery basis having taken into account all relevant guidance.
RESOLVED: That the proposed fees set out below be approved.
