Planning Application

Pre-Planning Application Fees

New Town and Country Planning Regulations by central government have been approved and planning fees increased 35% for applications for major developments and 25% for all other applications from December 6.

The regulations will see annual indexation of planning applications fees, capped at 10% from April 2025 and the fee exemption or free-go for repeat applications will be removed.

An applicant will still be able to benefit from a free-go if their application was withdrawn or refused in the preceding 12 months, subject to all other conditions for the free-go being met.

For any questions please email planningandgrowth@rushcliffe.gov.uk

Full planning application fees can be found on the Development Management fees page
