This report sets out estimates for income and expenditure on services in 2017/18.

The Committee recommended the 2017/18 service estimates for approval at the budget meeting of the Council on 14 February 2017.

The Committee received a report which set out estimates for income and expenditure on its services for 2017/18.

The report highlighted that the probable outturn for this Committee in 2016/17 was an over spend of £119,000. This was the result of some significant adverse variations due to a shortfall in planning fee income, building control fees and cemetery income.  This had been addressed in the 2017/18 budget.  However, the report also highlighted that planning and building control income was dependent on applications and exposed to the volatility of external market forces.

The report set out a summary of the Committee’s revenue estimates for 2017/18, giving an overall base position of £1,877K.  This included additional income from discretionary fees and charges of £262K.

Accordingly, the Committee recommended the 2017/18 service estimates for approval at the budget meeting of the Council on 14 February 2017.
