a fee of £145 for any application for the agreement of the relevant planning authority pursuant to any “unless otherwise agreed” provision of any requirement in Schedule 2 (requirements).
Any fee paid under this Schedule must be refunded by the relevant planning authority to the undertaker who paid it within four weeks of—
the application being rejected as invalidly made; or
the relevant planning authority failing to determine the application within the relevant period in paragraph 2(1) of this Schedule unless within that period the undertaker agrees, in writing, that the fee is to be retained by the relevant planning authority and credited in respect of a future application.
