Additional Fee for Invalid Applications
When a planning application is submitted, it must include all the required information to be considered valid. However, many applications we receive are incomplete or invalid, which leads to additional work. Under Section 93 of the Local Government Act 2003, we are required to charge for this extra work.
A charge will apply to any application that is submitted and later found to be invalid. The charge will be based on the planning application fee.
| Planning application fee | Invalid application charge |
|---|---|
| £0 to £99 | £0 |
| £100 to £500 | £35 |
| £501 to £749 | £75 |
| £750 to £2499 | £155 |
| £2500 | £250 |
