Planning Fees Wales

Its been long muted and we can confirm today that The Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications, Deemed Applications and Site Visits) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 have been laid before the Senedd to be debated on 15 July. 

By debate we mean approved obviously as 15 minutes have been allotted to this heady task.

Thus todays VAT cut and cheaper Monday night cheeky Nando‘s will be more than offset by the 20% rise in planning fees. God giveth on the one hand…

The new fees will be in force from 24 August 2020. There is still some time (albeit very limited) to press forward some schemes.
