The 1990 Town and Country Planning Act gives the Secretary of State powers to make regulations setting the planning fees which local authorities can charge for processing different types of planning applications. Present government policy seeks to achieve full cost recovery for those elements of the development control process for which charges are made, in accordance with the Regulations. This report presents the findings of a research study commissioned by the Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions. It considers the current fees structure, options for restructuring, and the need for a monitoring system to provide reliable data on local authority fee-related costs.
