Terms & Conditions

LAWFUL DEVELOPMENT CERTIFICATE APPLICATION

At R L Planning, we charge a flat fee of £350. Any additional work requested by the Council (eg extra or revised plans) - for which agreement is always sought first - is charged at an hourly rate.

The Application Fee

The Application Submission fee is charged separately and needs to be paid directly by yourselves upon receipt of a 'payment request email' sent via the Planning Portal. Currently, the total for a LDC Application is £216 - this comprises the LPA's fee plus the Planning Portal's admin charge.

The need for Planning Permission

If, at any point of our research, we find that Planning Permission would be required then we will stop work and contact you. We will agree the best way forward and a quote will be sent for your consideration (taking into account the initial payment). 

The Decision

Please note that whilst all advice is given in good faith, there is no guarantee that a Lawful Development Certificate will be issued by the Local Planning Authority.
