Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
These Regulations amend the Building (Prescribed Fees etc.) Regulations 1985 so as to —
increase the flat rate fees payable to a local authority by approximately 7.5% in respect of the erection of small domestic buildings and connected work (Schedule 1 to the 1985 Regulations) and the erection of certain garages, carports and the making of small extensions and alterations to domestic buildings (Schedule 2 to those Regulations),
double the minimum and maximum limits, set in November 1985, of the fees payable to the Secretary of State for the determination by him of questions about the conformity of plans with building regulations and questions arising between approved inspectors and developers which it is estimated will increase the average determination fee by 36%, and
double the flat rate fee, set in November 1985, payable to the Secretary of State in respect of questions concerning the rejection of certificated plans.
