A Bill to amend the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to enable local authorities in England to determine the fees to be paid in respect of applications and deemed applications for planning permission; to require local authorities to set the scale of fees with a view to ensuring that the costs of determining applications can be wholly funded by application fees; and for connected purposes.

The Planning Application Fees Bill would empower English local councils to set and charge planning application fees, with the aim that those fees cover the full cost of processing and deciding planning applications. It amends the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to link fee levels to costs. The bill is at its first reading in the House of Commons and would need further parliamentary stages to become law.
Currently at 1st reading in the Commons (16 November 2022). It would need to progress through later stages (e.g., Committee, Report) before any enactment.
