Unit of 1: Yes the new planning charges are national and should have come in in April. They probably are intended as a disincentive to developers with rather sketchy proposals and put the onus back on them. I'm not sure that the paltry sums involved necessarily result in Planning Authortities raking it in, once admin costs are taken into account. Also developers can save money by discharging 'batches' for a flat fee of £?? or something. Arealted issue is that archaeological officers, conservation officers etc at unitaries or districts are now legally responsible for the discharge of their respective conditions rather than 'recommending' discharge to the planners. The key phrase here is on the first page of the doc:
Lets take that to include archaeology too, shall we?
However, this has nothing at all to do with the topic so :face-topic:
Taliesin... Won't be seeing you in Torquay then?
