These Regulations amend the Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications and Deemed Applications) Regulations 1989.

The main change is that all fees currently payable under the 1989 Regulations are increased in two stages: the first on commencement and the second from 3rd January 1995. Each increase is of approximately 15%. Replacement scales of fees (Part II of Schedule 1, and Schedule 2, to the 1989 Regulations) are set out in the Schedules for each stage of increase.

In addition, regulation 11(4) of the 1989 Regulation has been amended to provide that where application is made to display an advertisement on public seating benches within a specified area the whole of the area is to be treated as one site for the purposes of the regulation.

The concession in paragraphs (6) and (7) of regulation 10A of the 1989 Regulations (which provide a 50% reduction in fees where application is made to convert an established use certificate issued under section 194 of the 1990 Act, as originally enacted, into a certificate of lawful use) has been removed with effect from 3rd January 1995.
