The Executive considered a response to the Government’s consultation on the 2018/19 Local Government Finance Settlement.
Members considered the proposed response and agreed that the response to Question 2 should be amended to state that, if the Government intended to pursue a policy for linking a reduction in New Homes Bonus payments to applications approved on appeal, the deduction should only be made for applications granted on appeal where costs were awarded against the local authority.
It was also agreed that the letter should be signed by the Leader and the Chief Executive.
RESOLVED to
(i) agree the proposed Consultation response, as amended; and
(ii) delegate to the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Leader, the completion and submission of the final consultation response.
