Council chief executive Michael Stretton the fee was being considered to manage the rising cost of assessing requests born by the council.

"In recent years the council has received more requests in this area, generating increased workload for officers which comes at a cost to the Council," he said.

"A fee has therefore been proposed to ensure that some of these costs are passed on to those who benefit from the service, rather than being solely borne by ratepayers."
