Services were required to consider fees and charges on an annual basis. Fees and charges should be considered in line with the corporate charging policy. The charging policy indicated that fees and charges, where possible, should be inflated by a minimum of 2.5% per annum.

The proposed fees and charges for Highways and Planning were also influenced by service objectives. Appendix 1 showed in more detail the current and proposed fees and charges for the Highways and Planning service.
Resolved – That the Highways and Planning fees and charges for 2009/10, as set out in the appendix to the report, be approved.
