Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications and Deemed Applications) Regulations 1989.
The main change is that all fees currently payable under the 1989 Regulations are increased (by approximately 10%). Replacement scales of fees (Part II of Schedule 1, and Schedule 2, to the 1989 Regulations) are set out in the Schedules. In addition, the following changes have been made to the fees regime—
the fees prescribed at paragraphs 3(b)(i) and 4(a) in Part II of Schedule 1 to the 1989 Regulations have been increased from nil to £22.
a £22 fee has been introduced in respect of applications under Part 24 of Schedule 2 to the General Development Order (development by telecommunications code system operators).
a fixed fee has been introduced in respect of applications for renewal of a planning permission where the development has not been begun and the time for beginning the development has not expired. This equates to the fee payable for applications to which section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 relates.
