Disproportionate burden assessment for licensing of pleasure boats

Scope

The document sets out the process and procedures to be followed in the licensing of pleasure boats and boat persons. It is published to ensure transparency of process and so that residents can see the standards applied by the Council in discharging its licensing function.

Benefits of creating an accessible version

The benefits of creating an HTML version of this PDF would be:
  • A fully accessible version for all users to access
  • An easily searchable and indexable version

Burden placed on the organisation

We’ve estimated that it would take a disproportionate amount of a content designer’s time to create an HTML version of this PDF.

Contributing factors

Other factors relevant to this decision are:
  • Interest in the document is likely to be low as the Council has a very low number of boats and boat persons licensed. 
  • We have never received a request for an accessible version of the document and will continue to assist with accessible versions on request.

Assessment

Having considered the estimated effort involved in creating an HTML version, along with the low estimated demand, we have concluded that the work involved would be a poor use of staff time. This represents a disproportionate burden on the organisation.
