Cross boundary applications
Where an application crosses one or more local or district planning authorities:
- The amount due is usually 150% of the ‘single’ fee that would have been payable for the proposed development (as if there had only been one application to a single authority covering the entire site); unless
- The ‘total’ fee (the sum total of each separately calculated fee for each part of the development within each authority’s boundary) is smaller. In which case this ‘total’ fee is the fee due.
In either case, the fee should be paid to the authority that contains the larger part of the application site within its boundary.
Fees for mixed use development
Please seek further advice from the Local Planning Authority with regard to the fee payable.
