Fees

Subject to certain exceptions a Full Plans Submission attracts fees payable in two stages. The first fee must accompany the deposit of plans, the second fee is payable after the first site inspection of work in progress. All other application fees are due with the submission of the application form. Fees are calculated using the cost of works, proposed floor space created and type of works being carried out. All fees are quoted on the basis that the design and building work is undertaken by a person or company who is competent to do so, and the work from commencement to completion will not exceed 12 months in duration. If these conditions are not met an additional fee may be invoiced. The fee usually covers all necessary site visits until satisfactory completion of the work. Fee quotes are available on request. Note: To avoid your application being invalidated you must provide any documentation and ensure all fees are paid when requested. Cancellation will incur a minimum fee of £75.00 for administration and officer time.
