Gambling Act 2005: Licence Fees from April 2024

Minutes:

The Head of Licensing Partnership presented the report, which set out the proposed levels of fees and charges for gambling licenses for 2024-25. The fees ensured that the Council complied with its statutory duty and ensured that the Gambling Licensing service remained self-financing. The fees had been increased in line with inflation where possible; some fees had reached their maximum limits.

 

In response to questions, the officer clarified that new casinos under the Gambling Act 2005 were not permitted to be built in the district, and that the fees set for these licenses were irrelevant.

 

Resolved: That the level of fees and charges as set out below be approved from 1 April 2024:
