Paul Dosanjh, Service Manager: Trading Standards & Licensing Act, presented the report seeking Committee’s approval for the implementation of a new licensing and fees policy for mobile homes sites, and to inform Members of the recent legislation change requiring a “fit and proper” person to assume legal responsibility for the day to day running of such sites.

The Service Manager responded to questions asked and it was noted that the policy would cover chalet type mobile home sites not traveller sites.

Resolved:

That Members of the Regulatory Committee:

1. Approved the proposed mobile homes act fees policy, set out in Appendix 1 of the report.
2. Approved the fee structures (Appendices 2-5)
3. Delegated authority to grant applications for ‘fit and proper’ persons to Licensing and compliance officers where there were no objections.
4. Noted that a register of fit and proper persons shall be published online, and the contents would be in accordance with the Regulation
