The Head of Natural and Built Environment submitted a report (Paper F194) advising that the Gambling Act 2005 passes responsibility for the licensing and regulation of gambling premises to District and Borough Councils as Local Licensing Authorities.
The costs of these new responsibilities will be met by gambling operators through a one off application fee and annual fees for gambling premises licences. The Council had resolved that Babergh’s fee levels for gambling premises would be set by the Licensing and Appeals Committee. The final fee regulations have now been published by the Government and the fee table was circulated at the meeting as a revised Appendix 1 to Paper F194.
RESOLVED
That the fees payable for each category of gambling premises licence be set to the maximum permissible level as prescribed by the regulations made by the Secretary of State as contained in the revised Appendix 1 to Paper F194 circulated at the meeting.
The business of the meeting was concluded at 10.15 am.
