20260715C-C26XXPL- Planning Additional Fees and Charges July 2026 - v0.3 - in work - Copy

From: Council - Wednesday, 15 July 2026 - 7.00 pm - July 15, 2026

The Council publishes a schedule of fees and charges related to planning which are kept under review. This includes comparing with neighbours and looking at areas where it is appropriate for the cost burden to be transferred from the tax payer to the service user. The proposed changes seek to implement a CPI +2% increase from 1 August 2026 on the fees and charges last set by Council in February 2025 to reflect the increasing costs and to reduce the burden on the taxpayer. The Council can also charge for the more complex queries when appropriate. Appendix 1 includes a framework which sets out how the charge rates depending on the nature of the enquiry.
