The Government has published a Draft Fees Order, introducing significant increases in planning application fees, set to take effect from 1st April 2025.
Key changes include:
Householder applications: Fees will more than double, rising from £258 to £528.
Section 73 applications: A tiered fee structure will replace the current flat fee of £293:
- £2,000 for major development variations
- £586 for non-major development variations
- £86 for householder applications
Discharge of conditions: Fees will more than double, increasing from £145 to £298.
Now is the time to act. Submitting your application before these changes take effect could save you hundreds of pounds.
