Purpose

This report asks the Director of Economy, Regeneration and
Investment to approve increases to statutory planning fees as set
by central government in the following regulations:
 
Statutory Instrument 2025 No. 342 - The Town and Country
Planning (Fees for Applications, Deemed Applications, Requests and
Site Visits) (England) (Amendment and Transitional Provision)
Regulations 2025.
 
The provisional fee increases were reported to Full
Council at its meeting held on 3 March 2025, but as the legislation
had not been given parliamentary approval at this time Council gave
delegated authority to the Director to introduce the fees set out
in the 2025 Regulations should they come into force, including
reconciling this with existing fees where
necessary.
