The Government’s proposals to increase planning fees by 15 per cent have been welcomed by the Royal Town Planning Institute President Colin Haylock.
Haylock, also an IHBC member, said: ‘The proposal to increase fees is welcome, but councils need to make sure that the additional money ensures planning departments are adequately resourced. Swift and accurate planning decisions are a crucial element in delivering much-needed growth and the increase in fees by the Government is designed to support this function.’
