Should planning application fees exceed cost recovery to fully resource local planning services?

Yes 20%No 80%5 votes cast

The National Association of Local Councils supports a national default fee schedule at 90% of costs with local variation options in the government's consultation. They advocate fees going beyond strict cost recovery to resource the overall planning system, including underfunded enforcement. Proposals also simplify fee structures for various applications and introduce new charges for biodiversity and section 106A.
