To consider the report of the Director of Resources, (copy enclosed).

The Council considered the report of the Director of Service Delivery proposing a Rural Settlement List for the financial year 2021 / 22 (Appendix A to the report) to determine and award Rural Rate Relief to eligible businesses.

The Director of Resources advised that the dates referred to in the report were incorrect and should refer to 2021 / 22.  However, those dates in the appendix were correct.  This was noted.

It was noted that Section 43 of the Local Government Act 1988 (as amended by the Local Government Finance and Ratings Act 1997) placed an obligation on local authorities to publish a rural settlement list each financial year.  There had been no significant developments and no changes were proposed to the previously published list.

The Chairman moved the recommendation set out in the report.  This was duly seconded and agreed by assent.

RESOLVED that the Rural Settlement List for 2021 / 22 be approved.
