The Cabinet Member authorised a period of 8 weeks for public consultation in relation to a Fees Policy document (attached as appendix A), including utilising the option to calculate annual fees on a banding basis, and the exemption of certain sites from its annual fee charge.
The Act sets out the Council’s powers to meet the aims of the Act and its duties towards people living in park homes and caravans. The recommendations in this report will ensure the Government’s intention to provide greater protection to occupiers of residential park homes and caravans is achieved.
To not consult and introduce the powers of the Act would further disadvantage the occupiers of residential park homes and caravans.
None.
