Planning fees
Amendment charges
Once you have submitted your planning application, we are not legally obliged to accept any amendments to your plans.
This is because amendments require us to carry out additional work that an applicant has not paid for - from re validating plans, through to reconsulting with neighbours and stakeholders on amended plans.
Householders no amendment policy
We have a strict no amendment policy on householder applications and we are sorry but if you want to amend the plans you have submitted, you will need to reapply. We will determine your original submitted plans as submitted and you will have to pay to apply again through the Planning Portal.
It is for this reason, that we encourage householder applicants to apply for pre-application advice, so we can help you to get your plans right first time. Pre-application advice for householders starts from just £63. Find out more.
Other application amendment charges
For other application types including minor applications, small major applications and major applications, you can submit amendments, but you will need to pay an amendment charge for each amendment you submit, and there is a maximum number of amendments you can submit.
| Application type | Description | Cost per amendment* | Maximum amendments |
| Minor application | Up to 9 dwellings and up to 0.99 hectares or 999 square metres floor area. | £150 | Three |
| Small major application | Between 10 and 199 dwellings and between 1.9 and 3.9 hectares or 1,000 and 9,999 square metres floor area. | £200 | Three |
| Major application | 200+ dwellings and over four hectares or 10,000 square metres floor area. | £350 first request, £450 second request and £600 third request (unless in a planning performance agreement) | Three |
*Amendment charges are exempt from vat.
