Changes to the Spring Budget Discretionary Rate Relief (DRR) Allocation Policy

Purpose of Report: To amend the policy put in place in May 17 to allow automatic awards to small local businesses and charities with a rateable value below £200k.

Members are asked to approve the amendments.

 

The Council aims to give the same 28 days’ clear notice of non key decisions as it does for key decisions, but in exceptional circumstances this may not be possible.  In this case, the item is being considered as an urgent matter to allow amendment to the May 17 DRR policy so our small local businesses do not lose out on financial support with their business rates.
