Decision details

Shepway District Council agreed a policy framework for supporting filming and photography shoots across Shepway which sets out defined procedures for supporting film and television companies, including a charging schedule for a range of different services.

The policy framework is underpinned by a proposed Partnership Agreement between SDC and Kent County Council’s Kent Film Office, which sets out the functions and services that each will provide in a joint working relationship. The Partnership Agreement will be reviewed annually by Shepway District Council and Kent Film Office.

As Cabinet Member for Economic Development, I authorise the Director for Economic Development:

(a)  to sign, on behalf of Kent County Council, the Partnership Agreement between the Kent Film Office and Shepway District Council for the period 2016-17, and

(b)   to implement the financial and governance arrangements therein.
