Part B - Matters Referred to CounciL

 

95.      Primate Licensing Report (5.32pm)

 

[See also under Part A]

 

Members considered a report that advised them of the Animal Welfare (Primate Licences) (England) Regulations 2024. The report sought approval of the proposed fees. The Licensing Manager outlined the report and noted the change to the recommendation to recommend to Council. She explained that the council was not aware of any primate keepers and added there was no statutory guidance from DEFRA at this time regarding the Regulations.

 

The Licensing Manager explained that the fees were set out at paragraph 11 of the published report and she explained how the fees had been set. She noted the options available to Members and the recommendation to Council that approval be given to agree to implement the fees shown in paragraph 11 of the published report.

 

The Committee had the following options available to them in

making their decision:

 

Option 1 – that members note the content of this report and recommend to Council that approval be given to this option to agree to implement the fees shown in paragraph 11 of the published report.

 

Option 2 – that members note the content of this report and ask officers to reassess the fees.  

 

Cllr Cuthbertson moved and Cllr Mason seconded Option 1. On being put to the vote it was unanimously;

 

Resolved: That;

                     i.        The content of the report be noted.

                    ii.        It be recommended to Council that approval be given to option 1 to agree to implement the fees shown in paragraph 11 of the published report.

 

Reason:     To meet the legislative requirements of the Licensing Act 2005.
