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 20 <). In addition, the following changes have been made to the fees regime—
    (1)  the fee payable on a deemed planning application in connection with an appeal against an enforcement notice has been doubled and half is to be paid to the local planning authority, the other half being paid to the Secretary of State;

    (2)  the 75% reduction of the fee payable on an application submitted within 28 days of an application for the same development or reserved matters has been withdrawn, so that the standard fee will be payable in respect of both applications;

    (3)  a £20 fee has been introduced in respect of applications under the General Development Order relating to the siting, design and external appearance of agricultural and forestry buildings and the siting and means of construction of private ways.
