Minutes:
By means of a report by the Revenue and Benefits Manager (a copy of which was appended in the Minute Book) the Non-Domestic Rates Rural Settlements List was presented to the Panel.
Following a question from Councillor Shaw, the Panel heard that there were no changes to the list from last year. It was also clarified that the map areas highlighted in blue were parts of urban areas which had been designated as defined rural settlements in order to support local businesses.
Councillor Criswell observed that due to there having been no change from the previous year, it may be prudent to pursue an alternative method of publishing the document. The Executive Councillor confirmed to the Panel that there was an option to do this via a delegated responsibility and that this would be investigated.
Following the discussion, it was
RESOLVED
that the comments of the Overview and Scrutiny Panel be passed to Cabinet for their consideration when making a decision upon the recommendations contained within the report.
