Interesting approach to funding development control work - planning applications already have a fee (although I doubt if it covers the costs of dealing with the complex ones) so this simply extends this - polluter pays principle really, the developer creates costs for the rest of the Council Tax payers so has to pay - it does seem a very low charge though - my last County stopped invoicing for under £50 as it cost more than that to process the invoice!
