Decision Notice D170046CAB
Meeting: 20/06/2017 - Street Scene and Environment Services Advisory Board (Item 5)
Minutes:
The report of the Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health advised that the Food Standards Agency (FSA) had recently confirmed a change of policy which enabled local authorities to use existing powers within the Localism Act 2011 to introduce charges to recover the cost of re-inspection requests under the food hygiene rating scheme. Details of the proposed level of charge, which aligned the voluntary scheme in England to the statutory schemes in Wales and Scotland, were set out in the report.
RECOMMENDED: That Cabinet approve the introduction of a charge of £160.00 for a Food Hygiene Rating Scheme re-inspection.
