Consultees
The proposal to
introduce cost-recovery charges for Street Naming and Numbering related
services was discussed and supported by CET in July 2024
Research and
informal consultation has been undertaken to assess what other Local
Authorities across Wales and England charge for and how much they charge.
The Business
Systems Team have been involved in determining the proposed charges.
Finance colleagues
have been engaged in overseeing the setting of the proposed charges to ensure
that they reflect true cost-recovery and to support with the implementation of
a payment process for customers.
The Legal Team were
approached for guidance on whether the Council is legally able to introduce
charges for Street Naming and Numbering related services. They advised that
under the legislation adopted to carry out this function we could charge on
a cost-recovery basis for services that are discretionary.
Geoplace best
practice guidance has been closely followed during the development of this
proposal. GeoPlace is the guiding authority for authoritative addressing in
every district, county and unitary council in England and Wales.
