The Chief Officer (Highways and
Transportation) was requested to approve the revised level of
charges to be applied from 1 April 2023 and until further
notice.
The increase is a direct result of applying general income
inflation at 4%, to the 2022/2023 charges of October 2022 in line
with corporate guidelines as recommended in the Initial Budget
Proposals for 2023/2024 Executive Board Report and rounded to the
nearest ten pence.
The commuted sum schedule has had rates rise by 4% in line with
general income inflation. The fees for S278 agreements are also
proposed to rise by 4% from the October 2022/2023 values in line
with general income inflation, rounded to the nearest pound.
Site Development have confirmed that the charge for stopping up
orders is unchanged and likely to be reviewed in the 2024/25
report.
Traffic Engineering have confirmed a 3% increase for repeat, small
scale, local community events as this charge is applied to charity
and non-profit making events only.
