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the date of registration of a withdrawn application.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.
