HC Deb 02 February 1981 vol 998 c51W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what estimate he has made of the revenue that will accrue to each local authority in England and Wales from planning charges under the relevant section of the Local Government, Planning and Land Act.

Mr. King

Subject to parliamentary approval, planning charges will be introduced from 1 April 1981. Total income from these charges is expected to be about £38 million in 1981–82 (November 1980 prices) for all local authorities in England and Wales. No estimate has been made of the revenue consequences at individual authority level.
