Your County - Putting Kent First

Kent 4 star Council

Planning application fees

Planning fees for planning applications are set by central government and apply throughout England and Wales.

A number of important points should be noted before an application is made:

  • cheques and postal orders should be crossed and made payable to Kent County Council
  • application fees being paid by other units of the county council should be paid by a specific journal transfer to the planning applications unit.
  • where the proposal includes development in more than one category, the highest fee will apply.

The scale of fees for planning applications were revised by the government on 6 April 2008. For more information about fees please download our current guide to planning application fees.

Fees for the discharge of planning conditions

Please note that from 6 May 2008 there will be a charge for requests to approve details required by condition and for confirmation that the terms of conditions have been met. All such requests shall be in writing.

The fee chargeable is £85 per request, so if you ask for more than condition to be discharged at the same time, only one fee will be charged. Each separate request will attract a new fee, as will any request to amend a previously approved detail. The fee must be paid when the request is made.
