Decision Maker: Portfolio Holder for Public Protection and Enforcement
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
The Public Protection and Enforcement Portfolio Holder approved the revised schedule of fees for licensing house in multiple occupation.
The existing House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) mandatory licence fee had not been reviewed since 2009 and currently it does not cover the cost of inspecting the property and issuing the licence. The cost of regulating the HMO sector under HMO licensing should be borne by the sector itself, and the Council has the opportunity to recover the associated costs in delivering the mandatory scheme. The report therefore recommended an increase in the licence fee.
