Increase in planning fees on the way?
Mar 06, 2023
As part of the LURB the Government has published a consultation on whether to increase fees for planning applications, with the objective of using the increased funding to build capacity and resource in the LPAs. Whilst the increase in LPA resource is much overdue and welcomed, the increased planning fees are yet another hike in the overall costs of planning.
Hannah Moule, Director at The Rural Planning Co gives a quick overview on the two main headlines to this consultation.

Through no fault of their own they lost the access to the rented buildings. They retained the rented land and bought 60 acres but needed agricultural buildings to make the business viable.
Find out how following a longer term strategy meant that these clients achieved planning permission, not only for three agricultural buildings, but also for an Agricultural Workers Dwelling.
