Fees

In many instances you will need to pay a fee when applying for planning permission.

 

The following information and the information on our development fees webpage is a summarised version of the fees we charge for applications, which may help you calculate the amount you will be expected to pay for your planning application. 

Please see the The Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications and Deemed Applications) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2008 57.4Kb PDF or the Goverment Guidance on Fees 331Kb PDF for further information on how to apply the fees.

 

Under the terms of the 2008 regulations, you will need to pay a fee if you require...

  • Planning Permission
  • Approval of Reserved Matters required by a condition on an Outline Permission
  • Consent to Display Advertisements
  • Planning Permission under the Town and Country Planning General Regulations, 1992
  • Certificates of Lawful Use or Development
  • Certificates of Proposed Use or Development
  • Request to discharge or confirmation of compliance with a condition attached to a planning permission

 

If you are required to pay a planning fee see our Development Fees webpage to see how much you will be charged.

You can also use the Planning Portal online Fee Calculator.

 

Reserved Matters

In some instances the Council will require further details to be submitted for approval following the granting of outline planning permission. Reserved matters applications must normally be submitted within three years of the date of the outline permission, otherwise permission will lapse. Once approved development must normally start either within 3 years of the date of outline permission or within 2 years of the date of reserved matters approval. Reserved matters are defined in as matters relating to :-

  • Layout
  • Scale
  • Appearance
  • Access
  • Landscaping

 

Where on one development, application for reserved matters is made in several stages by the same applicant, each stage attracts the formal fee until the total fees paid in the successive submissions equals the sum that would have been paid had application for approval of all reserved matters been made in one submission.

 

Thereafter applications attract a flat fee of £335.
