Planning Application Fees (Hansard, 23 July 1990)

HC Deb 23 July 1990 vol 177 c67W 67W

§ Mr. Bradley
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to compensate local authorities for loss of income against forecasts due to the lack of any increase in planning application fees.

§ Mr. Michael Spicer
No. It would not be appropriate to provide compensation for any shortfall against any authority's own forecasts.

§ Mr. Bradley
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he will next increase planning application fees for local planning authorities.

§ Mr. Michael Spicer
I will make an announcement shortly.
