The Licensing Officer (NJ) submitted a report by the Head of Planning and Public Protection (previously circulated) seeking members’ review of the draft policies for the allocation and monitoring of Street Collection and House to House Collection permits (attached at Appendix A to the report) following the consultation exercise.

The Licensing Committee on 12 September 2012 had agreed a consultation exercise on the review of policies for charitable collections.  The report outlined the consultation process and provided details of the representations received relating to Street Collections (no representations had been received relating to House to House Collections) and the recommended amendments in response thereto.  Members were asked to consider the draft policies in light of the consultation responses received.

Members considered the draft policies together with the consultation responses and were satisfied that the representations had been addressed appropriately.

RESOLVED that the draft policies for House to House and Street Collections as detailed in Appendix A to the report and the proposed amendments as detailed in Appendix C to the report be endorsed and recommended to County Council for approval and adoption.
