Fees & Charges 2026/27 Appendix 3

The following tables outline all fees & charges to be set for 2026/27, which are required to be approved by Cabinet in advance of the financial year. Additionally, some Registrars charges for 2027/28 and 2028/29 are also presented for approval in Table 1.

All fees & charges are assumed to be increased by the corporate inflation rate of 3.00%. Some fees and charges are recommended to increase by a rate other than the corporate inflation rate. Where this is the case, the rationale for the charge is outlined in the final column of the table, including where a fee or charge is set according to statute.

Some fees and charges have already been approved by Cabinet or a committee, such as the Licencing Committee. Where a fee or charge is already approved, this is detailed in the final column of the table.

Unless indicated (with a †), where VAT applies, all charges are shown inclusive of VAT.

Local Land Charges
The market is price sensitive and council benchmarking results shows BHCC pricing is high in comparison to South-East average. The service has previously seen some loss of income resulting from the fees being non-competitive and therefore it is recommended that all local land charge fees remain at the 2026/27 prices.

Registration Services
Fees in registration services are set a combination of one, two and three years in advance. A comprehensive review of all fees has taken place including benchmarking against the South East Registration Board and comparable urban authorities ensuring fees cover the real and actual costs of delivering the service. Fees for Non-Statutory Ceremonies have been aligned to those charged for Statutory Ceremonies until 2027/28. This practice is coom among benchmarked authorities and covers the real and actual costs of bespoke scripts being written for couples. Statutory and non-statutory ceremony fees include the costs certificate. The certificates are optional and the relevant fees can be deducted on request.

Note 3: For Road Safety Audit items – (a) Fees include up to 2 rounds of review of each RSA submission (i.e. Audit Team proposal, Brief, Audit Report, Audit Response Report). Should further rounds of review be necessary to obtain approval then this will be subject to additional fees at a time charge rate of £88 hour ex VAT. (b) Fees exclude technical review and/or approval of the highway proposals themselves or of any input TS/TA derived traffic forecasts etc… for that may be required for RSA Briefs. Where approval of such inputs is required then this will be subject to separate fees per other items. Whilst RSA Briefs may nonetheless be approved in the absence of these, this will be subject to separate latter approval of such input documents. Until that is provided Designers proceed with any RSA at their risk. (c) Fees exclude the production of Exceptions Reports for where the Design Organisation proposes not to follow an RSA recommendation. Should they be required then this will be subject to additional fees at a time charge rate of £88 hour ex VAT. (d) Where the proposals include works at multiple disparate sites, include contiguous works over a very large area, or in other reasonable circumstances, these may be broken up and treated as separate schemes - each subject to separate fees.

Table 3: City Operations	Current 2025/26	Proposed 2026/27	Change %	Rationale for Change or New Fee/Charge (Only for new fees/charges or increases above or below the 3% corporate target)
Parking Fees and Charges
Parking fees & charges were frozen in 25/26. In 26/27 resident, traders, and business permits have been increased in line with inflation (3%) while other permits remain frozen for a second year. The exception to this is visitor and hotel permits which see an above inflation increase except in Light Touch zones which are frozen. In line with the Parking Review recommendation, we have worked to make our barrier carparks more attractive by freezing visitor tariffs and introducing new early bird, commuter and late-night tariffs in some locations. We have also worked to simplify on-street parking charges including a new unified seafront parking tariff from Maderia Drive to the King Alfred aimed at the visitor economy.

Home to School Transport
Home to School transport – Parental contribution towards travel assistance - sixth form aged pupils	£453.90	£468.20	3.2%	Where travel assistance is agreed for a student of sixth form age (16 to 19 years old), a contribution towards the cost of travel is usually required. The contribution is reviewed annually. Students from families with a low income will not be required to make a financial contribution. The contribution is set at the same level as a Student City Saver which is the typical cost for a student traveling to their education in the city. In the academic year 2024 to 2025 this is £453.90 per year. This is the equivalent of a student City Saver ticket. The contribution payment will increase in line with Brighton & Hove Bus Company prices.
School Meals – Primary Schools (DSG)
This is a DSG budget not General Fund and only applies to those Primary & Special schools who participate in the BHCC School Meals Contract. It therefore excludes all Secondary Schools, Academies and Free Schools. All secondary schools and secondary academies within the city and the Bilingual Primary School, City Academy Whitehawk and Moulsecoomb Primary and West Blatchington, Benfield and Hangleton provide meals, including free meals to entitled pupils, through their own individually negotiated contracts
School Meals -Primary schools	£2.65	£2.85	7.5%	The cost of school meals to the local authority (schools) is inflated annually in accordance with the price review mechanism detailed in the school meals contract. The charge for school meals in primary schools has not increased since November 2024, when the price was set at £2.65 for Primary and Specials schools and £2.60 for nursery meals served in schools. The price will increase from January 2026 when the price of a meal will increase to £2.85 for Primary & Special school children and will remain at £2.60 for nursery pupils. The proposed price increase is much higher than anticipated, due to the change in government guidance regarding Employers National Insurance Contributions and continued higher food inflation. The contract requires the payment of the Living Wage (Living Wage Foundation) to employees and the Soil Associations Silver Food for Life. Any decision to increase the selling price to parents in 2025/26 should be made by June 2026 for implementation from 1st September 2026. We should note that the current charge for meals in East Sussex is £3.06 and in West Sussex £3.09 Any price increase agreed will be based on the contract price review terms or a minimum of 3% in line with the corporate inflation rate. The LWFLW rates indicate a 6.7% increase in labour costs, therefore the planned rate for September 2026 would be a minimum of £3.00.
Children in Care
It is Brighton and Hove City Council’s policy to recoup a contribution from parents towards their child’s maintenance, where a child is in care under a s.20 Children Act 1989and where it is considered reasonable to do so. This promotes parental responsibility and active involvement in the care of their child. BHCC endeavours to work in partnership with parents wherever possible by encouraging involvement in decision making and contributing to the costs associated with their child’s care, providing this is in the best interests of the child.
0 to 2 years	£192.50	£198.70	3.2%	The amount recoverable is set at 50% of the lowest foster care rate for the child’s age band, which is considered fair and retrievable. The amount will be adjusted each year to reflect changes in the foster care rate.
3 to 4 years	£196.00	£202.30	3.2%
