Re-submission of a planning application
Where planning permission has been refused or an application withdrawn, the re-submission of a planning application within 12 months for a similar scheme on the same site by the same applicant would not require a fee.
Refund of fees
Fees can only refunded if:
- Paid in respect of a development for which permission or consent is not required and the local planning authority decline to determine the application.
- More than the correct fee was paid
- The application is rejected as invalidly made
No refund can be made where an application is withdrawn.
