Upcoming Changes to Planning Application Costs.

The cost of submitting a planning application is changing.

Alterations & Extensions will now cost £528 to submit an application to the local authority plus the planning portal service charge of £70+VAT

Proposed use - Certificate of Lawful Development (used for Permitted Developments) will be £298 + Planning portal service charge.

From 31 March 2025, the cost of submitting a planning application via Planning Portal will increase to £70+VAT

This reflects two key factors:
1) The UK Government's increase to statutory planning fees from 1 April 2025, which raises costs across the sector, for all parties.

2) Significant increases in the cost of processing planning applications,
including security, payment handling and associated fees, platform maintenance, and support services.

For some small extensions you may have Permitted Development rights which don’t need planning permission but you should get a certificate of lawful development.
I can help with plans and applications.
