The report sets out the context for the proposed increase in Building Control Fees. 

Additional documents:

  • Appendix A (document removed 4.5.21 as out of date information)
  • Appendix B (document removed 4.5.21 as out of date information)

Minutes:

The report of the Director of Central Services and Monitoring Officer referred to the partnership arrangement with Sevenoaks District Council for provision of the Building Control Service, overseen by a Management Board.  Consideration was given to a proposed overall fee increase of 3% for the standard charges which would reflect the current cost of the works supervised by the Building Control Partnership.

 

In the interests of transparency, Members were advised that the increase in charges approved in 2018 on the recommendation of the Planning and Transportation Advisory Board (Decision No D180011CAB) had unfortunately not been implemented.  Hence the proposed scale of charges represented a 3% increase over the 2017/18 scale shown at Appendix B to the report.

 

RECOMMENDED:  That the proposed fees scales for 2019/20, as set out at Appendix A to the report and representing an overall increase of 3%, be approved.
