Administration charges for direct application submissions
Nationally most submissions are now made via the planning portal; which offers a comprehensive service providing a paperless service to applicants and agents for the processing of planning applications. The majority of applications received by the Council are made through this UK Government national online platform for England and Wales.
A small number of our service users continue to submit applications in paper or email format to the authority, and whilst this is of course accepted, there is an administrative handling fee on such submissions. The processing of applications made directly increases the burden on the service in terms of handling, scanning, indexing and subsequent disposal. The additional cost of the processing of such applications is offset through the following administration charges:
