Minutes:

The Revenues Manager presented a report requesting the Portfolio Holder to review and determine the boundaries of Rural Settlements for the administration of Rural Rate Relief (‘Village Shop’ Relief) in accordance with section 42B of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997.

 

The Portfolio Holder was advised that there had been no significant population changes and that no changes were proposed to the existing boundaries.

 

In reply to a question it was confirmed that discretionary rural rate relief was awarded to 72 small rural businesses, at a cost to the Council of £27,925.42, in 2009/11.

 

The Portfolio Holder AGREED the Rural Settlement list for 2010/11 as follows:
