Planning fees

In most cases you will have to pay a fee when you apply for planning permission.

Application fees are set by the government and are the same for all councils across the country.

To find out how much you will pay, use the Planning Portal fee calculator.

Alternatively, download our planning application fees.

We also charge for some documents. Find out more about document charges.
