MIXED APPLICATIONS
Applications may involve development within one or more of the categories set
out above. Fees should be calculated separately under each category as
follows:-
1.
Applications for Residential Accommodation with Other Buildings - Add together the fee appropriate for each development.
This applies whether the two types of development are combined or in separate buildings.
- For Outline application the fee is calculated based upon total site
area.
- Where a mixed use building includes common service floorspace (eg entrance foyers)
serving both residential and non-residential areas the common areas are divided pro rata between the floorspace for
each element of the development.
2. Other Mixed Applications
- Where an application refers to two or more categories (other than as set out in 1 above) calculate the fee
appropriate for each element. In this case only the highest of the fees calculated is charged. Therefore buildings
together with other works, a change of use application with other works, or more than one change of use will be
calculated on this basis.
DUPLICATE APPLICATIONS
Circular 31/92: The Town and Country Planning (Fees for
Applications and Deemed Applications) (Amendment) (No 2) Regulations 1992:
annex
Duplicate
applications
23. The concession which previously applied to a
duplicate application made within 28 days of an earlier one (so-called "twin-tracked" applications) has been
removed. The standard fee is payable in respect of each application.
REPEAT
APPLICATIONS
Fees for repeat planning applications
A further application can be submitted and
will be exempt from a fee if:
- the applicant is the same;
- the site edged red is the same;
- the revised application is "for the same character or description of
development";
- the submission must be within 12 months of determination of the
application or 12 months from the date of registration of a withdrawn application.
This exemption from paying a fee qualifies for one
re-application only. The re-application involves any significant changes from the original proposal then the
Council can charge a new planning fee as the application is essentially a different one.
