Planning portal fees for erecting 3 houses

[Alan James]

Good morning! I'm working through a new planning application with my architect and I'm trying to understand planning portal fees, it's a bit of a challenge as this is my first time using the site. I have a detached bungalow (1 house) which I would like to demolish and replace with 3 terraced houses. We're hoping to submit a planning application this month and I've been looking at the planning portal to work out fees. Given there is 1 property on the site today which will be demolished if approved, should the planning fees be for 3 houses or 2 houses?

You are creating 3 new houses so you pay for 3. Otherwise those people who are knocking down one house to replace with another wouldn’t have to pay a fee.

It depends on the type of application you are making.

 

If it's an outline application, or it's Permission in Principle, it's based on the site area.

 

If it's a full application, it's the first submission of reserved matters against an outline application, or it's a Technical Details Consent application, then it's per dwellinghouse. In your example, that would be 3 dwellinghouses.

Thanks @garrymartin  for the detailed response. I'll share this with the architect to get his views and plan next steps. I've got a lot to learn!

your architect doesnt even know what it costs to submit a planning application ?

 

Alarm bells.
