All plans and drawings submitted are required to have critical dimensions and a recognised metric scale marked on them.
Note If plans are received without critical dimensions no further checks will be made until they are received. Critical dimensions include heights, width and length of buildings and extensions, and distances to site boundaries.
The Planning Portal has an on-line fee calculator and a Guide toPlanning Fees.
Fees are payable to seek discharge of conditions on all Planning Permissions.
