Agenda item

The health, safety, licensing and environmental protection unit manager presented the report.  Members had questions for the officer.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the content of this report, including the timetable for implementation of the new licensing regime under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 be noted.

2.  That it be noted that a proposed fees schedule for licences under the Act will be considered by the leader of the council under the individual decision making process, following a variation of delegation.

3.  That it be noted that the intention is that, in advance of formal amendment to the council constitution, all cases where it is proposed to either reject, revoke or vary an application for a licence under the Act will be put to the licensing sub-committee for consideration.
