      How much does it cost?

      Most applications require a fee. The application process will give you the cost if one is required. You can also calculate the fee yourself by using the Planning Portal's online fee calculator. If you are unsure about the appropriate fee for your application, you are strongly advised to contact your local planning authority in advance of submitting your application, as an incorrect fee will delay the processing of your application.
