Minutes:
The Leader presented the report to members, outlining the proposed changes to the existing policy to reflect the revised legislation, which would provide the Council with more robust enforcement tools to deal with rogue landlords.
Member referred to the particular issues in Kegworth. The Strategic Director of Place advised that there were no additional powers to deal with associated parking problems, however the issues in Kegworth were being addressed.
It was moved by Councillor R Blunt, seconded by Councillor T Gillard and
RESOLVED THAT:
1. The licence fee increase for houses in multiple occupation, minimum room sizes and licence conditions, the use of civil penalties and banning orders be approved.
2. Future revisions to the policy be delegated to the Strategic Director of Place.
Reason for decision:The changes in legislation have meant minimum room sizes need to be adopted and it has allowed for a review of the fee.
