✍️Legislative amendments to increase planning application fees have now been formally “made” and will take effect on 6th December 2023. The main points affecting how fees are calculated on Planning Portal are that:  🟢Application fees will be increasing by 25% across the board, which will rise to 35% for major schemes based on the legislative interpretation of ‘major development’. 🔵The provision for a ‘free go’ on application resubmissions will also be removed, but individual applications that were already eligible for a free resubmission prior to the change (i.e. before 6th December 2023) will remain so. This will see the number of such exemptions fade out over the 12-month period after the amendments have taken effect. 🟢A fee is being introduced for the prior approval application required, as part of the permitted development rights for ‘development by the Crown on a closed defence site’.
