The Principal Licensing Officer presented the report for the Licensing and Gambling Committee to agree the fees for this Authority in relation to Premises Licences under the Gambling Act 2005 for 21st May 2025 – 20th May 2026.

In response to a question asking if we were keeping in line with inflation and covering costs the officer explained that it is dependent on the work that each authority does, and how many application forms acts as a formula to assess fees, which is approved by all Wales.  A number of factors are considered to determine fees such as how many meetings and how much training has been given.  As MCC have had no applications since 2010 the fees have slightly decreased.

The Committee resolved to accept the recommendations:

i)                The fees and charges detailed in Appendix A of the report be approved and have a commencement date 21st May 2025; and

ii)              The fees are subsequently reviewed annually.
